"How wonderful it would be if we could help our children and grandchildren to learn thanksgiving at an early age. Thanksgiving opens the doors. It changes a child's personality. A child is resentful, negative - or thankful. Thankful children want to give, they radiate happiness, they draw people." SIR JOHN MARKS TEMPLETON

Thanksgiving has always been one of my favorite holidays. It is a time for togetherness with family, neighbors and friends. It is much more than Macy's parade and football on television. It is a time to give thanks and praise to our loving Creator for all the good things He has provided for us. It is a time to thank our family and friends for being supportive and caring for us when needed. We all have so much to be thankful for. I am thankful for all the blessings God has bestowed on me. For my children, my grandchildren Gabrielle and Dominic. I am thankful for our good health and for all the wonderful opportunities we have. I am thankful for being able to hear the laughter of children and to see the beautiful sunrises and sunsets, and I am most thankful for God's love and mercy. May God Bless you all!
