Re: [FWDLK] Happy Thansgiving



yes, Happy Thanksgiving!  Although I feel awfully smug  thanking "Him" for the things He gave me while making those other people suffer the way you describe...I know I am no more special than they..so, did I win the lottery?    Is He that biased against those who do not own Mopars ?  Does He only provide for those whose ancestors, like DeSoto ,who have conquered other lands ?  Still looking for the moral teaching of, and proof of His existence in this example.

Last year I took a trip to Kenya, which left a permanent stamp on my spirit, heart and mind.  The vast majority of people there live in dirt floor huts and shacks.  Water is a luxury and toilets consist of a hole in the wood floor of an outhouse (there's not even a seat and certainly no TP).  Yet, these people are the most thankful, joyful, generous people you ever want to meet.  If you were to enter their home and they had only one piece of fruit for the family they'd give it to you.give thanks today, please remember to thank Him for the simple things we take for granted every day - freedom, water and electricity we have at our command, our jobs, cars, a pantry full of snacks and luxuries (remember those who scrounge to get one meal a day, when we can indulge at will), the ability to go replace something when we run out, the list goes on.  That's not to say we need to feel guilty about our riches, just appreciative!
