blog#26 What Thanksgiving Means to me..

Today's blog is what does Thanksgiving mean to.Wow! Good question I have not been ask that question since middle school. Back then I would have said food, food and more food, and after that leftover food that you take and make new meals for instance left over turkey turns in to turkey salad, MMMM! cannot wait til Thanksgiving.I can taste the turkey and dressing, yams, and sweet potato pies now.

The older you get the more you realize Thanksgiving is not just about the food and stuffing yourself until you can't breath. In today's society we have a lot to be thankful for. Over the last few years our economy has been on the down fall people losing there jobs, and there homes and not being able to have the Thanksgiving they had two or five years ago. Most people cherish what they have now because it can be taken away from them. Be thankful for what you have now and realize your situation can be worse off, there is someone out there that don't know where there next meal is coming from. My husband complains about being over worked and not being paid enough. And I have told him that there is someone out there wish they can be over worked for any pay, so stop complaining and go to work, because were better off than most.

So you ask the the question what does Thanksgiving mean to me. It means exactly what the word says "THANKSGIVING". Being thankful for what you do have and appreciate the things that are in front of you. there is someone out there that don't know where they are going to sleep tonight, let alone there next meal. And giving, give something that you have to someone less fortunate than you . Help someone in need this year. Have you heard the expression give to someone and you get your blessing in return doubled what you gave out. I heard that a lot growing up as a preachers daughter. SO this year for thanksgiving be thankful that you have a roof over your head,a job to go to everyday and food on your table. Give back to your community or one person that will not be able to share Thanksgiving with there family this. And Have a Happy Thanksgiving.
