Hi Patty, nice sentiments for sure. Please forgive me not knowing this... but when do you all celebrate Thanks Giving?
I have to admit it is something I've not paid attention to in the past, I'd see it on films and it's mentioned on the 'Simpsons'.. would you if you get the time give me a run down on it, or maybe a link that YOU think explains all.
Well Pastor Patty, that was a most magnificent sermon on Thanksliving!
You've made my day!!
Love you post as I have said before, you can't visit Patty without leaving uplifted, or helped or with a big smile.
God bless you dear!

We all have lots to be thankful for. Life is it. Our life is being specific. Thanks for our life together.
