Thanksgiving weekend! God Bless! -Mark
'TWAS THE NIGHT OF THANKSGIVING
'Twas the night of Thanksgiving,
But I just couldn't sleep.
I tried counting backwards;
I tried counting sheep.
The leftovers beckoned--
The dark meat and white,
But I fought the temptation with all of my might.
Tossing and turning with anticipation,
The thought of a snack became infatuation!
So I raced to the kitchen,
Flung open the door,
And gazed at the fridge full of goodies galore.
I gobbled up turkey and buttered potatoes,
Pickles and carrots, beans and tomatoes.
I felt myself swelling so plump and so round,
'Till all of a sudden, I rose off the ground!
I crashed through the ceiling, floated into the sky
With a mouthful of pudding and a handful of pie,
But I managed to yell
As I soared past the trees,
"Happy eating to all--
pass the cranberries, please!"

BLESSED BEYOND MEASURE!
If you woke up this morning with more health than illness, you are
more blessed than the million who will not survive this week.
If you have never experienced the danger of battle, the loneliness of
imprisonment, the agony of torture or the pangs of starvation, you
are ahead of 500 million people in the world.
If you can attend a church meeting without fear of harassment,
arrest, torture or death, you are more blessed than three billion
people in the world.
If you have food in the refrigerator, clothes on your back, a roof
overhead and a place to sleep, you are richer than 75 percent of this
world.
If you have money in the bank, in your wallet, and spare change in a
dish somewhere, you are among the top 8 percent of the world's
wealthy.
If your parents are still alive and still married, you are very rare,
even in the United States.
If you hold up your head with a smile on your face and are truly
thankful, you are blessed because the majority can, but most do not.
If you can hold someone's hand, hug them or even touch them on the
shoulder, you are blessed because in a world that is dying from lack
of touch, you can offer Spirit's healing embrace.
If you can read this message, you just received a double blessing in
that someone was thinking of you, and furthermore, you are more
blessed than over two billion people in the world who cannot read at
all.
Have a good day, count your blessings and pass this along to remind
everyone else how blessed we all are.
