A Few of FR's Finest....Every Day
Free Republic made its debut in September, 1996, and the forum was added in early 1997. Over 100,000 people have registered for posting privileges on Free Republic, and the forum is read daily by tens of thousands of concerned citizens and patriots from all around the country and the world.
A Few of FR's Finest....Every Day was introduced on June 24, 2002. It's only a small room in JimRob's house where we can get to know one another a little better; salute and support our military and our leaders; pray for those in need; and congratulate those deserving. We strive to keep our threads entertaining, fun, and pleasing to look at, and often have guest writers contribute an essay, or a profile of another FReeper.
On Mondays please visit us to see photos of A FEW OF FR'S VETERANS AND ACTIVE MILITARY
If you have a suggestion, or an idea, or if there's a FReeper you would like to see featured, please drop one of us a note in FR mail.
We're having fun and hope you are!

Two days to go. You have worked LONG & HARD to make this a perfect day
The meal will challenge a four star restaurant; the wines perfectly match the meal; your guest rooms humble the Ritz Carleton; the TV screen is sparkling ready for the “big” game; the decorations are from House Beautiful.
But….
But - did you remember the real spirit of Thanksgiving?
Psalms 95:2 Let us come before him with thanksgiving and extol him with music and song.
Psalms 97:12 Rejoice in the LORD, you who are righteous, and praise his holy name.
Psalms 100:4 Enter his gates with thanksgiving and his courts with praise; give thanks to him and praise his name.
Psalms 105:1 Give thanks to the LORD, call on his name; make known among the nations what he has done.
Psalms 106:1 Praise the LORD. Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good; his love endures forever.
Psalms 107:1 Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good; his love endures forever.
Some thoughts/ideas to make this truly a THANKSGIVING…
1) Before the big meal/big games.. take all your guests to a nursing home, retirement center, homeless shelter…spend a few hours. Help feed residents, visit, serve food, read the Bible to them, pray with them.
2) Before the big meal/big game……get everyone together for a walk in nature. Enjoy beauty, find wonder, experience God.
3) Before the big meal/big game while at the dinner table – go around the table, look intently at & smile at & tell EACH person present, WHY they are so special to you & why you are thankful for them
4) Don’t worry about dishes/clean up.. Instead focus on the special people you are with this day. Give them a shoulder rub, listen to the “little people”, think of something you need to ask forgiveness regarding.
5) Pray for all your friends/family/acquaintances.
6) Be Thankful you are able to BE THANKFUL(think about this one a bit).
