turkey dinner for about 40
people,
What's even • sillier, by the
time you read this, Thanksgiving
dinner will have been prepared
and eaten for another year ... so
what's all the fuss anyway.
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. Warner, acting base commander, for
suggestion made while stationed in Germany. Sergeant Mohr
and Cpl. Robinson, another radar technician, together
developed a modification to the airfield approach radar
control equipment at their base and the idea was approved for
all similir equipment. Each man received a cash award.
Sergeant Mohr comes from Vegreville, Alberta, where he
attended high school before joining the RCAF in 1951. He was
posted to Clinton two years ago after a four-year tour in
Germany. He is married to the former Phyllis Walpole of Owen
Sound, The Mohrs live in Exeter with their three sons. —
