Black Friday--Folks worried about black ink or red ink. Did we get this or that bought? Others worried about bigger issues like the machinery broke down, or someone offended over some comment or health issues? Sometimes we get very concerned about things that seem small to others, but in our lives they are major. Others are concerned about some really hard things. Life gets pretty hard sometimes. Wonder what things are concerning the boys in Iraq and Afghanistan? Where did they sleep last night, or did they? What did they eat? If they got it, their turkey and mashed spuds were probably more appreciated than most. Let us not forget to appreciate them, their families and the commitment and sacrifice for our Christian Nation. I thank God for them and His mercies toward all of us, even though many are turning their back on Him and rejecting His sacrifice for us. Makes the words of the Battle Hymn of the Republic hit home: "Christ died to make men holy, let us die to make men free." In all that we are thankful for let us not lose sight of the One we are grateful to. Jesus Christ. Thank God for His sacrifice, and the sacrifice of the American Soldier. Well have yourselves a good Sunday mornin', and a fine rest of the week too.
