Happy Thanksgiving!

Ahhh. Today is Thanksgiving. It's been a tough year for many. I read an article today that points out that nearly one third of the people in America are in poverty or in that difficult area just above poverty called "near poor" So at this time, on this Thanksgiving day, we need to give thanks for what we have and pray for those who must struggle. This Recession we face still, has been so hard on so many. As we try to dig out from under the weight of this Great Recession, I'm reminded of something else I read today. It's a reminder of part of Franklin Delano Roosevelt's second Inaugural Address "The test of our progress is not whether we add more to the abundance of those who have much; it is whether we provide enough for those who have too little". Little wonder that he kept getting reelected. For a very wealthy man, he understood the needs and the suffering of those who must worry each day over how to provide for the next day. So, as we partake of this rich bounty before us, let us pray for and seek ways we can help to meet those needs that President Roosevelt say so many years ago. To do this, is to do Gods work.
