From the Director’s Desk This month, on the 27th, we will be celebrating Thanksgiving. This is a holiday that was first celebrated between the Pilgrims and the Indians in 1621. Since then Thanksgiving has been celebrated in various ways. In 1963 it became a national holiday and we celebrate it today the way we do. It is a day when we get together with family and eat too much turkey, mashed potatoes, along with pumpkin and pecan pie. Most of the time we eat way more then we should! We sit around all day and do nothing but watch parades and football. Then, after we sit for hours, we make our way to the kitchen and make ourselves a turkey sandwich and go back in to the TV and settle in to watch It’s a Wonderful Life and root for good old George Bailey. The next day we drag ourselves out of bed, head to the drive through coffee place and get a large cup of caffeine and go see what kinds of sales we can find to spend our hard earned money on. When that is all done we go back home, have a turkey sandwich and park in front of the TV for a nice relaxing evening. Saturday we sleep in and roll out of bed for a day of recuperation. Sunday we go to Church and compare war stories of how much we ate and the bargains we got. We listen to a good sermon on being thankful and go home happy and grateful for all God has done for us. As we celebrate Thanksgiving 2025 let us not forget all that we have to be thankful for. We live in the greatest country on the face of the earth and have so many freedoms that we take for granted. The thing that we should be the most thankful for is that we have a Savior that gave His life so that we could live forever!
