Thank you Jesus. I remember too, that some have not been with family and I pray for peace and contentment for them. May the Holy Spirit encamp around them.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-512647349909812502.post-52582616375691560332008-11-28T14:29:00.000-05:002008-11-28T14:29:00.000-05:00Anonymous,I did have a peaceful Thanksgiving.

My wife had decorated the house for Christmas so we were all set when they arrived — I think that helped put everyone into a festive mood. <BR/><BR/>The other eight family members who often come to our house for Thanksgiving were away or working or rotating to other family — so we missed them a lot.<BR/><BR/>I too think about those who are alone and pray they are not lonely and sad. <BR/><BR/>Thank you for the good wishes.Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01438934904276002548noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-512647349909812502.post-41163941825636204822008-11-27T10:36:00.000-05:002008-11-27T10:36:00.000-05:00John, I am here wishing you a peaceful Thanksgivin...John, I am here wishing you a peaceful Thanksgiving. There are many lonely people today. I am holding them in prayer. <BR/>People may even be lonely amid a crowd of family members. May Our Lord Jesus and The Blessed Family comfort those who may feel they are alone.<BR/>My five children are all doing their separate thing today. May God Bless them too.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-512647349909812502.post-20410472534101618052008-11-20T22:03:00.000-05:002008-11-20T22:03:00.000-05:00Carol, thank you.

Wow, the things I do not know about .....and the great gift of my religious freedom is another. <BR/><BR/>For about half of the 20th century, the UGCC was the largest outlawed church in the world.Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01438934904276002548noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-512647349909812502.post-23259933034492799052008-11-15T11:05:00.000-05:002008-11-15T11:05:00.000-05:00I don't think that we in America realize the freed...I don't think that we in America realize the freedoms we have to express our belief's. Today, as we are speaking people are suffering for their religious belief's. <BR/>It is important that we remain in prayer so that we may be strong in the face of adversity if it should per chance come our way.<BR/>Jesus Lives!<BR/>CarolAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
