Yesterday, I finished the last of my Thanksgiving shopping. 
Wal Mart was packed.
The aisles were crowded and buyers were hurrying to gather their purchases.
Checkout lines were backed up.
I heard from more than one person comment that the store was a mad house.
Traffic was backed up.
What a hectic time of year…
Having 15 people coming to dinner today, I know the feeling.
Rush, rush, hurry, hurry and did I remember to buy everything I needed?
Thanksgiving is a time of giving, and sharing and a time to love one another.
We must stop and take a breath.
Today, take a moment to step away from the hustle and bustle to remember why we are here.
Today we must remember to:
Reach out and lend a helping hand to those around us.
Take time to help those that are less fortunate than we are.
Be sure that all of your loved ones know exactly how important they are in your life.
Take time to reflect and be thankful for all that we have.
God Bless All and Have A Beautiful Thanksgiving Day!
