Let me tell you. I figure if I have no more worries in this life than how to get ready for a house full of hungry guests I have plenty for which to be thankful. Sure I have the everyday ups and downs that most folks in the neighborhood face. We get electricity bills that we think are too high, my husband gasps at the telephone tolls, I get upset when I notice how the price of soda crackers climbs from month to month, we often wonder how we'll scratch up the dollars for that new winter coat our oldest son needs. But basically, I've got nothing to make me "up tight" like the kids say. My husband, bless his heart, comes home from work at the end of the day sober and loving. My children fight a little and play their records too loud, but all the channels between us seem to be open and they still take the time to give a quick hug and whisper, "I love you, mom." Our house isn't a mansion but it is warm, dry, clean and comfortably mortgaged. Our car isn't new but it starts, runs (touch wood) and is paid. My winter coat needs shortening again to make it fashionable but it will pass very nicely. My husband has steady work that he likes and can do to the satisfaction of the upper crust. I'm not the prettiest woman in the world but I can see, hear, walk, work, talk, taste and smell. My health it good enough that the doctor stamps my card "fit" every time 'I go to his office. Real tragedy hs missed me thus far, thank God. I've never had to make it alone while my husband was off to a, war he didn't start or condone; I've never had to put my children to bed, hungry or cold; I've never known disaster to strike in the hideous ways it hits some others. And I have freedom to go where I like, to say what I think, worship as I please, write what I feel, read what I choose. My blessings are so bountiful it actually frightens me to list them for fear God will notice how truly blessed I am ... and maybe show His great power through some minor or major discomfort to humble me. That's when I get really thankful. That's when I forget all the little petty concerns of the day like how much turkey to cook and whether to serve turnip or mixed vegetables. That's when I decide that Thanksgiving dinner is the least important part of Thanksgiving Day. That's when know that the entire Keller family will be in church Sunday morning even if the bread stuffing never gets made. And a thanksgiving like that doesn't begin on a certain day or end with the last sip of coffee after the pumpkin pie. A thanksgiving like that warms your whole being so much that the glow is still there for weeks after the last bit of turkey stew has been reheated for the seventh time. I hope your thanksgiving was a thankful one but if it wasn't take time out right now to count your blessings. Just see if you aren't a whole lot luckier than you thought you were. Just see if you don't feel about 95 percent happier than when you started to tally up the good things in life. Sgt. Don Mohr, radar instructor at CFB Clinton, receives $280 cheque from Col. O. E.
