I am thankful for my liberty NEVER being taken from me, when I saw many young men,(close friends and family), lose their lives, let alone their liberty.

Virginia Williams

What am I thankful for, It's not what I am thankful for but I am thankful for the season of Thanksgiving. What can we say bad about this Holiday. It's not based on religion background, political party, or church denomination. It's not based on race or riches; it is just a time when the World stops for a day to say THANKS. This day is centered around food, great family conversation and showered with lots of Love. So know where you are at in life or what you are going through and if you haven't told God thanks in a while, now is a good time to tell Him Thanks because you and I are still here.
