government: On Being Thankful
- 12/22/08 11:04 PM
Today, I am praying for the swift recovery of a fellow Realtor in my office. He went through surgery on his heart yesterday. He has been through this before, but any surgery is serious. As I sit here this morning, getting ready for the holidays, and all that these preparations entail, gifts, cards, lights (which my family is thankfully taking charge of, so I can complete some things that have rto be done before tomorrow), food, and the string of various parties to go to, I am left with a great deal of thankful thoughts.
