Picture of the day - November 27, 2008

Tell me it's...ANYTHING but Thanksgiving!

Well, today is Thanksgiving, the one day of the year that most turkey's wish we would all just skip. In fact, if they had their way we would probably just skip right over the months of November and December and jump right into the new year. But unfortunately for our feathered friends, it is indeed Thanksgiving Day, and countless turkeys will be adorning festive holiday dinner tables all over the good ole USA sometime before the day draws to an end. For us humans, the occasion is a bit on the lighter side because it means that most of us will be in the company of our families and close friends as we enjoy what will quite possibly be the most satisfying meal of the year. But let us not forget the reason we celebrate Thanksgiving in the first place. We have set aside this very special day as a time to give thanks to our wonderful Creator for all of the blessings that He has given us throughout the years and over the course of our lifetimes. As we gather to eat that special meal later today, let us all take a few moments to say a prayer of thanks to our Lord for giving us our lives, our loved ones, and everything else that He has seen fit to bless us with. Only then will we be prepared to really enjoy that humongous turkey with all the trimmings and the fellowship we'll be sharing with our most precious loved ones.     Comment on today's picture  |  View previous "Pictures Of The Day"  |  Submit a photo Why I publish the "Picture Of The Day"
