Mamaw,

What a wonderful post. In the middle of everything that we go through it is important to step back and look at the big picture.

I hope you and your family have a wonderful Thanksgiving!

Mamaw, thank you for the wonderful post. I have printed it out and hung it on the fridge for the kids to read. I think I may also read it at our big Thanksgiving dinner table before the prayer. It is so clear to me that so many people have lost sight of what Thanksgiving is about and there is just simply too much of a mean, selfish mentality in this world. This little poem gives us all something to think about and it is so very true! I wish you very happy and blessed Thanksgiving!
