Thanksgiving is a time to set aside time to give thanks for our blessings. God has been very good to my family and I am very thankful for my husband and children. No matter what have each other, and although money is tight we do have a home and food and each other! I am most thankful that God always looks after us and has never left our side. We are very fortunate and very blessed. Please take time to be with your family and give thanks for your blessings! You can choose to be unhappy and worried about the economy and future but what could taking one day to forget and celebrate hurt? Why not take one day to let it go, and spend time with family and friends remembering how fortunate you really are, I am sure that everyone no matter how bad our economy has been lately could find something to be thankful for! Joy comes from the heart and the best gift you can give yourself is a day of peace and rest. From my family to yours may you have a very Happy Thanksgiving!

Time has gone fast in Active Rain. I just noticed I hit the 50,000 point mark tonight. It seems like a big milestone when you start off at 200 points. i earned these points on my own, without a team writing for me. I have written from the heart and I know I have made some mad when I refused to back down with my religious beliefs, and feeling about Christianity, but with wonderful groups that support you, you know it is worth every word. Thanks to all that have supported my blog and encouraged me through hard times in sales and business, I feel that we have seen each other through a lot I hope we all can sit back and enjoy thanksgiving knowing just how blessed we all really are. take time to count your blessings!! Happy Thanksgiving!

We saw the sign on the bus in the capital that declared there was no God and stop worrying and have fun, have they lost there minds. I can't even believe that the bus system would except money for the advertisement. The humanist organization is out to get members and this is the way they are going to do it. We all need hope and faith, now these idiots are going to put there junk on a bus. The bus rolls through city streets and a lot of low income areas, so is this what the humanist want to do, is attract people without a lot to give up, and hope and faith. I bet if they put that bus in Greenville SC, some would protest and have the sign removed. This is just another way to take God out of Christmas and our lives . This is really sad, our country has no morals or ethics left. I guess some would allow anything for money! They are going to feel real funny when they have to answer for the stupidity. Why,because there are some in this country that hate Christians and there beliefs, sad but true and some will do anything for money!

I come with a joyful heart that even while all the bad things that are happening in this country that my family is safe and home. That we have food and heat and that we are fortunate enough to have a house. The reason I am writing this is I see so many people hurting and not a clue as what to do .We learned a very long time ago to live with what God provides. My husband broke his back when my kids were 3 and 4. For one year we went through 5 surgeries , no income, and the fact that we had to sell everything to survive garage sales ,newspaper you name it , if we did not need it we sold it. You would not believe what you find in closets and garages. One Christams I bought the kids Christmas from a huge garage sale. We always had a home and the basic comforts of life, but we did without a lot. We learned the difference from want and need. This also rubbed off on my kids , because they follow these rules as they are teens. Times were hard, but with the grace of God we made it. Every single time we had a need it was met. I am not kidding, we prayed and It was answered. I learned to trust God and even managed to help others in need. I am not bothered by not buying huge Christmas gifts or new items every week. Because we learned you could do it on a cash pay bases. If we couldn't pay cash , we just did not do it. Now 15 years later, our cars are paid for and we have no debt except for a small mortgage on our house. if you are facing finical ruin, start praying and give it to God. Sell what you don't need and start simplifying your life, it will bring freedom you never have felt before. It will be hard and you will have to sacrifice things , but the pay off is priceless. Good luck I will pray for you and if you need someone to talk to email me. If you give this problem to God and trust him you will make it. You have to have faith. Learn to trust and learn to live like our grandparents did, a simple life, but one with a strong family background based on faith and prayer. Give Thanks With A Grateful Heart ! We are luckier than we think
