Thanksgiving

What a great holiday. Besides Christmas, it's our favorite one. So what are some things to be thankful for? Well lets begin our list on a time line. How about our savior, who suffered so much for everyone of us. He has felt pain that we can't even imagine. And how about the ones who began this amazing country. Like Lincoln, George Washington and the other founding fathers. The declaration of independence, and all the fallen soldiers who have risked and given their lives to protect it. This truely is the land of God. We are grateful for those who donate free labor and time to the community. Volunteer work speaks volumes about a persons personality. We are grateful for our active military, police, and fireman who protect us. We are especially grateful for our employment that allows us to receive income. Whether we like our jobs or not, it's nice to have one in this strained economy today. We are especially grateful for our families health and safety. Last but not least, we are grateful for our restored gospel, and for the ones who restored it. There are so many unfortunate people in the world who will never receive the chance to know our gospel. We are so grateful to have been given the opportunity.
