Happy Thanksgiving

This is a very special day to give thanks for all that you have. This is one of my favorite days because there is no material gifts that a person is obligated to give, it is just a nice time to spend with family and friends and to be thankful for what you have and to eat and share good food.

I have heard some people say that Thanksgiving is not a day people should celebrate because some say it is a day that the land was taken from our Native American ancestors. However, I feel it is good to give thanks and to be positive and to be thankful that we are still here regardless of many bad things that has happened in the past. We should be thankful that we are still thriving and doing good works in this world.

Each culture from across the globe has a very special day where we all come together and give thanks for what we have and our Native American ancestors has always put a special day aside to gather with friends and families and to give thanks and this is good day to do just that.

Also while you are celebrating this wonderful and special day, be sure to remember the less fortunate and give what you can to help others in need.

Thank you and have a very great Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

Take time to help others

We all should help one another and do what we can to seek out those who need help and help them. Many people complain and say they are too busy to get involved and help those in need and others simply just do not care.

 Many have the resources to help others, but are selfish. When you see a person who is hungry, feed them. When you see a person who needs clothes, clothe them. When you see a person who needs help in finding a job, then help them. If you have the resources and know someone who is hiring, then help the person who is seeking work.

When you see a person who is struggling financially, and you have money to spare, then offer them some. If you know of agencies that can help the poor and the needy, then direct them with kindness.

 Remember that saying in the bible, in verse Matthew 25:33-36, Jesus said,
 "Come, you blessed of My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world: for I was hungry and you gave Me food; I was thirsty and you gave Me drink; I was a stranger and you took Me in;  I was naked and you clothed Me; I was sick and you visited Me; I was in prison and you came to Me."

In Matthew 25:38-39, the people responded and said,
"Lord, when did we see You hungry and feed You, or thirsty and give You drink?  When did we see You a stranger and take You in, or naked and clothe You?  Or when did we see You sick, or in prison, and come to You?" 

In Matthew 25:40, Jesus responded, "Assuredly, I say to you, in as much as you did it to one of the least of these My brethren, you did it to Me."

When we all take time out of our busy schedules to help those in need, we shall receive greater blessings in return, so take time to help others and you shall see the difference.
