On this day of Thanksgiving, I’m grateful for many things.  First and foremost, I’m thankful to God for his many blessings, including faith, family and friends.

Among my blessings, I count my forebearers.  The past year and half, as I have learned about the lives of family who have lived before me, I have gained a greater appreciation for them.  I am grateful for their good lives, for their raising good children, and for their being examples of goodness that has all led to my good parents teaching me goodness.  What a blessing!

I am also grateful to all those who have and who continue to share their memories.  With you, the family legacy can continue for us today and for those to come.  Thank you!

Happy Thanksgiving!
