We believe that each individual should be thankful fon First of all, for life itself . . and for health! For families and for friends . . For the blessings of being able to work to provide for the necessities of life . . this indeed is a blessing. For the basic senses with which we are provided . . . and we fully realize that without either of them the handicaps incidental to their loss can be indeed be made to become a strengthening power . . . For homes . . . and for those abilities given to man to make these homes comfortable and protective against the elements . . . For marvelous inventions which have come from the minds of inspired men which bring within our reach the ability to communicate with those in far distant places or around the block with the simple flick of a dial . . . and to hear and see happenings of the day from far distant battle fields to world capitals and our own state events . . . and to hear words and music even as we whisk across smoothly surfaced roads or soar high above the clouds in mighty jets . . . And for the beauties of the mountains . . . the clear, pure air . . . and delicious cold mountain spring water uncontaminated by the carelssness of man. Yes, we should be truly thankful for the and we should be just blessings afforded us as truly cognizant of those around us who this Thanksgiving day have sorrow and suffering . . . and to recall the words of the prayer of St Francis of Assisi . . . O Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled, as to console; to be understood, as to understand; to be loved, as to love; for it is in giving that we receive, it is in pardoning that we are pardoned, and it is in dying that we are bom to eternal life. -- reg- I dont know where the money goes It takes as much to live these days beyond my means as it used to." ... reg DID YA KNOW . . . . that Thanksgiving, 1970 is on the same date of the year as the first publicly proclaim. . ed Thanksgiving.
