My life as plain conservative Christian wife and mom. My prayer is that this blog will be a blessing to all who read it. I will share the good and the bad because the Christian life can be hard sometimes.

What Happened With Thanksgiving?
Way back in the day when I was a child Thanksgiving was day to be thankful for the many blessing God has bestowed upon us. We got together with family and friends for a meal no matter how small it was.
Now it's hurry and eat so you can go make that huge sale at money hungry stores. Or maybe it's "sorry folks we are not having Thanksgiving dinner because I need to shop" Or even worse " You all eat without me. Kmart has a sale and I need to shop!"
I long for the days when Thanksgiving was quiet and the only stores that were open were markets in case you forgot something or you hope to find a turkey that isn't frozen because you forgot to take yours out of the freezer in time.
I think if there was a drastic reduction in shoppers on Thanksgiving stores wouldn't bother to open in the future. I'm sure most of the workers would rather be at home with their families instead of putting up with a lot of selfish and often rude customers.
It's so sad how money hungry, materialistic and selfish our society has become!

Such Terrible Loss :(
I'm a little familiar with Dr. Miles Munroe and his ministry. I watched some of his TV program back in the early 90s until we stopped watching TBN. Last week he and his wife and several members of their ministry team died in a terrible plane crash,
I can't even imagine what it would be for a church to suffer a loss like that! I would think it is a similar feeling when all those members of the Esh Family and others few died in a car crash a few years ago. I remember that like it was yesterday.
Here is a link to the page the Monroe children put up in memory of those that died.

Keep Miles Jr., his sister Charisa and all the other families in prayer. This next few weeks are going to be very difficult for all of them with all the various holidays coming up.
