Happy Thanksgiving

The holidays are approaching. Everywhere I go, I see decorations going up. When I was a kid learning about the holidays at school, we heard stories about the hardships the Pilgrims endured the first winter in America. They survived because of the compassion of Native Americans who taught them to plant corn and celebrated the harvest with a Thanksgiving feast.

In this down economy, with drivers losing jobs and trucking firms closing up sometimes it’s easier to complain. However, I have not seen a mass exodus of people leaving this country to go somewhere better. This is still a pretty good place to live. Find time to appreciate what we have and the bounty of provision given to us this Thanksgiving. Comment here.

I once heard a speaker explain why so many have marital difficulties. He stated that somewhere within the marriage there was a lack of love on the husband’s part or a lack of respect on the wife’s part. This started a vicious cycle that we can’t break out of. You see, without love, a wife’s reaction to her husband will be lacking in respect. And when a husband gets treated without respect, he will react without love to his wife. See the cycle? Stop it! Become proactive and respond to your mate with what they need. Try it. It works well. Comment here.
