Ongoing Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving Day 2009 has come to a close. However, this does not mean thanksgiving from us has ceased. On the contrary, we have so much on a daily basis to be thankful for. The special day in November is meant to be a reminder of all the sacrifices made for establishing a nation based on principles from the Bible with the religious freedom that is often taken for granted. It is recognition of a connection with those who accept the bounty offered. We plant, water, and harvest but it is God who gives the increase. We should be careful not to detract in our modern thinking from the godly destiny that enabled our forefathers to set this nation in order and bring improved government better than ever experienced in the old world. I want to hold to the original intent of our founding fathers.
