...and it reminded me that Peace and Freedom come with a price. I think about the bombings in Mumbai, India the past few days and all of the families that went through a period of time not knowing of the safety of their loved ones, some of those being Americans. The Taj Hotel is the lodging of choice for many American business people, including Delta employees. We were thankful that Natalie was state side yesterday, but not everyone had that blessing. I can't help but be even more thankful that the Lord continues to lavish His grace, mercy and blessings not only on our family, but our country!On November 19, 1988, then President Ronald Reagan in a radio address, spoke these words “… in America, freedom seems like the air around us: It’s there; it’s sweet, though we rarely give it a thought. Yet as the air fills our lungs, freedom fills our souls. It gives breath to our laughter and joy. It gives voice to our songs. It gives us strength as we race for our dreams. ... Yes, as we gather together this Thanksgiving to ask the Lord’s blessings, as we of whatever faith we are give praises to His name, let us thank Him for our peace, prosperity, and freedom.”
For us, this says it all...Happy Thanksgiving to each of you!
