If it is something she doesn't like, she always reminds me that either grandpa, uncle so-so or aunt so-so does.

LOL!!! That's funny. You must have fun going out with her.

[Victoria Delsoul]

See you tomorrow, Tulip. Have a great day.

[Alberta's Child]

Mmmm . . . that was some good punch, Victoria!

[JustAmy]

"You must have fun going out with her."

She can be fun but she can also tire you. She is an extremely friendly child. She talks to anybody and everybody. Most of the time it is okay but there are times, I wish she would not strike up a conversation with someone.

She does not know a stranger, which is kinda scary.

[Victoria Delsoul]

Thanks. Hi AC, ready for Thanksgiving?

[Victoria Delsoul]

She does not know a stranger, which is kinda scary.

Yes, you have a point there.

[Alberta's Child]

Yes, I am. The older I get, the more I appreciate just having a few days off. LOL. How 'bout you?

[Victoria Delsoul]

I'm not old or even older, LOL.

[Alberta's Child]

You're right. I think yer something like 24 years old, right?

;-)

[Victoria Delsoul]

22.

[Alberta's Child]

Gosh, I'm sorry . . . I should have checked first before I made people here think you were so old!

[Victoria Delsoul]

I told you, I don't get older... I get younger.

[Alberta's Child]

LOL. Now I remember!

I gotta get to bed; one more day of work this short week!

Hope to see you here tomorrow night!

[Victoria Delsoul]

For sure. Have a good one, AC. See ya.

[tuliptree76]

I can't stay away for too long. LOL!

[Victoria Delsoul]

Well, I've read quite a bit, but now I need to go to bed.

I'll see you tomorrow, Tulip. Be good now. :-)

[tuliptree76]

Good night!

Thanks for the clip. ELO was one of my favorites at the time. Mr Blue Sky is so upbeat and perky you can't help but tap your foot and sing along. My favorite ELO songs are "So Fine" and "Can't Get it Outta My Head". Jeff Lynn the focal point for the group could not read or write music and didn't even want to learn.

Give Thanks And Remember

Read: Hebrews 13:1-16

Do not forget to do good and to share, for with such sacrifices God is well pleased. —Hebrews 13:16

Bible In One Year: Ezekiel 22-23; 1 Peter 1

---

One of today's most popular syndicated newspaper columns is "Dear Abby." Started in 1956 by Abigail Van Buren, the advice column is written today by her daughter Jeanne Phillips. In a recent edition, she included this Thanksgiving Prayer written many years before by her mother:

O Heavenly Father:
We thank Thee for food
and remember the hungry.
We thank Thee for health
and remember the sick.
We thank Thee for friends
and remember the friendless.
We thank Thee for freedom
and remember the enslaved.
May these remembrances
stir us to service.
That Thy gifts to us may be used
for others. Amen.

The words of this prayer echo the clear teaching of Scripture. Our thanksgiving to God should always be accompanied by thinking of those in need. "Therefore," said the writer to the Hebrews, "by [Jesus] let us continually offer the sacrifice of praise to God, that is, the fruit of our lips, giving thanks to His name" (Hebrews 13:15).

But there is more to it than thankfulness. We are to put actions behind our gratitude. "Do not forget to do good and to share, for with such sacrifices God is well pleased" (v.16).

Be thankful for God's many blessings, but be sure to remember those who have less. —David McCasland

Serving others is a way of thanking God.

I took a nap this afternoon, and I think it should have been longer.

Lucky you. I fell asleep on my keyboard. (Sorry I left the conscious world so abruptly.)
