WooHoo! Thanksgiving! By Dr. Kathleen B. Oden Thanksgiving is my favorite time of the year! The first thing that comes to my mind is pie, dressing, and turkey! In that order… lol! There is no way I can pick out what my favorite Thanksgiving food is because truly it is all good to me… lol! Mmmm! My mother was very into decorating this time of the year. She went all out, not only with decorations but also with cooking. My parents did not believe in traveling for the holidays. That was totally out of the question. However, they loved to have dinner parties and invite people over for cookouts. I am so thankful for those days and thinking back to that time brings back so many wonderful memories that make me grateful and thankful for my parents and all that they did and gave me. And that is the way the Lord wants us to be. Happy and thankful! Because things could be worse. Due to the fact that so many people have lost family members, children, and/or friends, in 2020 and even in 2021, stress, depression, and suicide are at an all-time high. But the Lord wants us to look up, return to Him so that He can comfort us. He wants us to be thankful for not only what He has given us but also for what we still have!
Give thanks unto the LORD, call upon his name, make known his deeds among the people. (1 Chronicles 16:8 KJV) THANK YOU, LORD By Dr. Kathleen B. Oden “Thank You Lord” “Thank You Lord” “Thank You Lord” I just can’t stop saying, “Thank You Lord.” As I rise up, I say, “Thank You Lord.” But, if the mailman brings bad news, It’s so hard to say, “Thank You Lord.” During my busy day, I often stop To say, “Thank You Lord.” But when someone is rude on the phone, It hurts to say, “Thank You Lord” And if someone takes my parking spot, I don’t feel like saying, “Thank You Lord”
