Be Thankful


It is yet time for another post. Christmas is right around the corner and with that idea we had always tried in the past to give gifts that were somehow related to preparedness. Things such as food, clothes, sleeping bags, we even gave out silver dollars. This year with things being tight as they are for everyone, we slacked off on the preparedness gifts and are mostly giving fun stuff if we can give at all.

It is important to keep your spirits up. As much as I would appreciate a new pair of wool socks for Christmas I can’t imagine a child would be thrilled with the same gift.  
So with that said I really do think it’s also important to remember the reason we celebrate the day. Children are not too young to learn, adults are not either. That’s about as preachy as I’m going to get. Except to say times are tough. Our spiritual attitude is important. Keep focused on the good things. God has blessed us in many ways. Count them if you have to but remember them and give thanks for them.
