Hope at Thanksgiving

We all know that this year, Thanksgiving will not be the Warm, Fuzzy day that has been in years past. People are losing their homes, cars are being repossessed and finding a job, to some, is just a wild fantasy that seems so unattainable. But look back to years past, World War Two, The Depression, and back to the year that Thanksgiving began. The young United States was embroiled in a tragic Civil War, brother fought brother and it looked like the grand experiment called the United States would soon just be a memory. It was at this time, that President Lincoln spoke out and said, Let's not focus on the bad in our lives, let us have a day of Thanksgiving, to thank God for the good things in our lives, for all bad things will pass. Keep this in mind this year, better times are ahead and things will be getting better.
