For the hay and the corn and the wheat that is reaped,
For the labor well done, and the barns that are heaped,
For the sun and the dew and the sweet honeycomb,
For the rose and the song and the harvest brought home --
Thanksgiving! Thanksgiving!
For the trade and the skill and the wealth in our land,
For the cunning and strength of the workingman's hand,
For the good that our artists and poets have taught,
For the friendship that hope and affection have brought --
Thanksgiving! Thanksgiving!
For the homes that with purest affection are blest,
For the season of plenty and well-deserved rest,
For our country extending from sea unto sea;
The land that is known as the "Land of the Free" --
Thanksgiving! Thanksgiving!

"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 grandbaby and the new grandbaby due in April, 2001.
I am thankful for our good health and for all the opportunities we have been given. I am thankful for blue skies and sunsets, the laughter of children, and I am most thankful for God's love and mercy. May God Bless you all!
Here are two very special adoptions for the holidays!!
