~ FReeper Canteen ~ Happy Thanksgiving to all of our Troops, Veterans, Allies, and to your family members. Thank you for allowing us all to celebrate a day to give Thanks! |
Welcome to the Canteen!
We're going to revisit an old question, but give it a more holiday twist. Since most of you will have Thanksgiving off and perhaps even Friday as well, here's our question:
What are the best movies for the holiday? The best family movie that can be enjoyed by everyone? The best thriller for those who need suspense? The best comedy movie for those who need a laugh? The best movie based on a real life person or event? Once again, from all of us at the Canteen:
We wish everyone a safe and happy Thanksgiving week!

"You'll put yer eye out, kid..."
Personal movie choices: Scrooge (1951) Scrooged (1988) An American Christmas Carol (with Henry Winkler doing an impressive job as a Depression-era Scrooge) (1979), Gremlins (1984), Lethal Weapon (1987), A Christmas Carol (1984) with George C. Scott.
There was also an animated version of A Christmas Carol that was made in the early Seventies and which I saw when I was younger; I remember it being very creepy.

'Planes, Trains and Automobiles' w/John Candy and Steve Martin. Great Thanksgiving fun.
Not exactly Thanksgiving, but it does make you think about the founding of the country and should make you thankful that you live in America, 'National Treasure.'
Both are family friendly, but won't hold the attention of very young viewers.

Heartprints
READ:
Acts 9:36-43Dorcas . . . was full of good works and charitable deeds. Acts 9:36
We leave fingerprints on doorknobs, on books, on walls, on keyboards. Each persons fingerprints are unique, so we leave our identity on everything we touch. Some supermarkets are even testing a technology that allows customers to pay by fingerprint. Each customers unique print and bank account number are kept on file so that the only thing needed to pay a bill is a scan of their finger.
A woman in the early church left another kind of printa heartprint. Dorcas touched many peoples lives through her unique gift of sewing and giving away garments. Shes described as full of good works and charitable deeds (Acts 9:36). We too are to be zealous for good works (Titus 2:14). We each have a unique heartprint that can touch another.
An unknown author wrote this prayer about encouraging others: O God, wherever I go today, help me leave heartprints! Heartprints of compassion, understanding, and love. Heartprints of kindness and genuine concern. May my heart touch a lonely neighbor or runaway daughter or anxious mother or even an aged grandfather. Send me out today to leave heartprints. And if someone should say, I felt your touch, may that one sense Your love touching through me.
Will you make this your prayer today? Anne Cetas
Just what do Christians look like?
What sets their lives apart?
Theyre ordinary people
Who love God from the heart. D. De Haan
