A Soldier's Thanksgiving

Over there a soldier's thinking
Of a time not long ago,
When his loved ones got together;
'Twas Thanksgiving Day, you know.

Over there a soldier's dreaming
Of a turkey baked just right,
Mashed potatoes, golden gravy,
Chestnut dressing, pure delight!

Over there a soldier's hungry
For whipped cream on pumpkin pie.
Squares of cornbread, crusts so tender,
Homemade biscuits stacked up high.

Over there a soldier's wishing
He could have one buttered roll.
But he feasts on GI rations
While his unit's on patrol.

Over there a soldier's lying
In a ditch, his makeshift bed.
Mud and dirt are his companions;
Been awhile since he's been fed.

Over there a soldier's praying
That his open sores will heal.
He is sure that he'll feel better
Once he has a good hot meal.

Over there a soldier's hearing
Loud explosions, muffled cries.
Shrapnel killed his foxhole buddy
Right before his very eyes.

Over there a soldier's quoting
Scriptures learned at Mother's knee,
Proud that he's a mighty warrior,
Keeping all his loved ones free.

This Thanksgiving as you're eating
That sweet corn that grandpa grew,
Say a prayer for that dear soldier
Who would love to be with you.

The Deaf Hear
November 21, 2012

When Thomas Gallaudet graduated from seminary in 1814, he had planned on becoming a preacher. However, his call to the ministry took a different turn when he met Alice, a 9-year-old, hearing-impaired girl in his neighborhood. Gallaudet began to communicate with her by writing words with a stick in the dirt.

Helping Alice motivated him to help others too. After consulting with European and American experts in educating the deaf, he refined a system widely known today as “signing” (a person’s hands spell out the message). Eventually, he established the American School for the Deaf.

Gallaudet’s school for the hearing-impaired contained a Christian curriculum that shared the gospel and included Bible instruction. He had answered the call to preach—but it was to a very special group of people. Signing was the way he communicated the gospel.

Like Gallaudet, we too should be sharing the Word of God with people in ways they can understand. Otherwise, “How shall they believe in Him of whom they have not heard? And how shall they hear without a preacher?” (Rom. 10:14). How might God want you to reach out to those around you?

Seeking the lost, and pointing to Jesus,
Souls that are weak and hearts that are sore;
Leading them forth in ways of salvation,
Showing the path to life evermore. —Ogden

Don’t withhold from the world
the best news that’s ever come to it.

Read: Romans 10:1-14

How shall they hear without a preacher? —Romans 10:14

Bible in a Year:
Romans 9-11

Your Thanksgiving Personality is Thankful

At Thanksgiving, all you want is a warm bed to sleep in and a home cooked meal to eat. As long as you have those things, you're grateful.
You're able to rise above any of the stress or drama associated with the holidays. You are just happy for what you have.

Whether it's been the best or worst year of your life, you take this day to count your blessings... no matter how small they might be.
And if possible, you try to help someone in need - anyone from a hungry stranger to a lonely friend.

Today’s Canteen ping…..”What's Your Thanksgiving Personality”.

[FortWorthPatriot]

Your Thanksgiving Personality is Foodie

You love Thanksgiving, as long as it's done right. And that means no funky green jello salads.
Thanksgiving is all about the food for you, and you like it to be top notch. There's a good chance you do all the cooking... that is unless you dine out.

Your ideal Thanksgiving would include your favorite dishes, as well as a few funky new experimental favorites.
And it would also include friends and family who can appreciate good food as much as you do. No instant mashed potatoes lovers welcome!

A PRAYER OF PROTECTION

The light of God surround you
The love of God enfold you
The power of God protect you
The presence of God watch over you
Wherever you are, God is,
And all is well.
Amen.

BLESS THIS HOUSE

 Bless this house O Lord we pray; Make it safe by night and day; 
Bless these walls so firm and stout, Keeping want and trouble out:
Bless the roof and chimneys tall, Let thy peace lie over all;
Bless this door, that it may prove ever open to joy and love.
Bless these windows shining bright, Letting in God's heav'nly light;
Bless the hearth a'blazing there, with smoke ascending like a prayer;
Bless the folk who dwell within, keep them pure and free from sin;
Bless us all that we may be Fit O Lord to dwell with thee;
Bless us all that one day we May dwell O Lord with thee.

Aloha and good afternoon, Hawaii...((hugs))...hope you are having sun.

Daylight hours today were nice....less and less each day til December 21st.

[Jet Jaguar]

Pretty cold here. Do you have head bolt outlets? When I was here before, my truck would start right up at -50 as long as I had it plugged in.

[left that other site]

Hi Everybody!

I’m “Thankful”.
(((HUGS)))

[BIGLOOK]

Aloha again Night Owl! ((HUGS))

Very little sun in the past few days and have been caught in the rain each time I head out. Comes with the territory.

We never have to worry about short days here....they're all about the same, except in winter when the Mynah birds tend to catch a few extra winks before rousing the neighborhood.

[LUV W]

Beautiful post, Kathy! (((hugs)))

[ConorMacNessa]

The Great Bird is in the refrigerator at my sister's house, Casa Gigliotti, which is the venue of this year's feast. The plan is for me and a couple of the MacNessa boys to arrive there Thursday Morning at 10:00 a.m. We need about six hours cooking time so I'm shooting to get the bird in the oven by Noon.

I have a garage at home, but nothing here at work. I usually start it about noon, and then quitting time, but today was check day (early because of Thanksgiving) and there wasn’t time. And my ‘84 S10 is just a bit slow in its old age.

Good evening, Lady J...((hugs))...are you ready for Thanksgiving? Going out? Staying in?

We will be in with a little turkey breast and a turkey leg if I can find one.

Memories of one of our earlier Thanksgiving extravaganzas:



A splendid example of modern American turkey breeding - note the ample white meat!

Your Thanksgiving Personality is Rebel

You detest Thanksgiving. All that family drama mixed with unappetizing side dishes? No thank you!
You'll make an appearance if you absolutely have to, but you won't enjoy it. You probably don't even like pumpkin pie.

Your ideal Thanksgiving would be spent completely alone... or with the few people that you can tolerate.
You'd eat whatever you want - even in front of the TV if you felt like it. And there's a good chance you wouldn't be eating sweet potatoes with marshmallow. Gag!

Hi All - So glad to be home for these few weeks. My Thanksgiving personality is:

~ Your Thanksgiving Personality is Social ~

Thanksgiving is one of your favorite days of the year, and not just because of the food.

While you enjoy Thanksgiving dishes as much as anyone else, you really live for being in one room with the people you love.

You look forward to Thanksgiving for many months, and you're tickled to see each new person walk through the door. You cherish every moment you spend, and you wish the day could go on forever. The people you spend Thanksgiving with make all the difference.

~ Welcome Home Sweetie ~

[Jet Jaguar]

Ah, I see.

No snow, weather has been nice.
Thanksgiving at inlaws this year.
Not thrilled but hey, it’s family... : )
