Final Thanksgiving Thought

Before I put my Christmas lights up today and Thanksgiving is a distant memory--here is a final thought:

"This Thanksgiving I'm thankful. That there aren't twice as many Congressmen and half as many doctors. That grass doesn't grow through snow, necessitating winter mowing as well as shoveling. That there are only twenty-four hours available each day for TV programming. That civil servants aren't less civil. That teenagers ultimately will have children who will become teenagers. That I'm not a turkey. That houses still cost more than cars. That the space available for messages on T-shirts and bumpers is limited. That liberated women whose husbands take them for granted don't all scream at the same time. That snow covers the un-raked leaves. That hugs and kisses don't add weight or cause cancer. That record players and radios and TV sets and washers and mixers and lights can be turned off. That no one can turn off the moon and stars." (Christianity Today, 11-17-1978)

A little old, I know but I thought you'd like this from "Vines-Lines." My kids won't know what a record player is, so I guess the above would be o.k. if you replaced it with C.D. player or MP3! You still get the idea...Let me be the first to wish you a blessed upcoming Christmas season!
