From the East:

Thanksgiving is a time
of gratitude to God, our Creator and Provider,
Whose guidance and care go before us…
And whose love is with us forever.

Thanksgiving is a time
to reflect on the changes,
To remember that we, too, grow and change
From one season of life to another.

Thanksgiving is a time
of changing season, when leaves turn golden

In Autumn’s wake and apples are crisp In the first chill breezes of fall.
Let us remember the true meaning of Thanksgiving,
as we see the beauty of Autumn,
Let us acknowledge the many blessings which are
ours…
Let us think of our families and friends..
And let us give thanks in our hears.

 

In Raggedy Ann & Andy smiles,

With fraternal love,
