Happy Thanksgiving!!!!!

may your holiday be cheery and bright, and when youre with your relatives and family on into the night, please remember what the day is for, and dont break out into a drunken fight!!!

and now, the blessing by the Rt.Rev. Patrick Cardinal O'Shawnessey Finestein, Rabbi of the Who Did It and Ran Church of All the Peoples, Who Gather Together in the Building With the Tall Steeples:

Dear Lord, we come to you today to celebrate all that you have given us, and to be thankful for all the blessings we have experienced this year.

Lord, we live in trying times. Please remember all who are living in fear this Thanksgiving Season. Families who don�t have enough money for shelter, or money to feed themselves; people living in fear of losing their families, or those whose tears you have witnessed, Lord. Bring them all home. Heal them and help wipe away their tears.

As we gather to give thanks let us remember to be like our Amish brothers and sisters. Help us to forgive all those who have wronged or hurt us, so we may sit together at the table and share the love that we have for one another.

Bless the people who provide us with this bounty that we share. May the Farmers, bakers and ranchers enjoy the fullness of this holiday. Bless those who cooked our meal and prepared this celebration. May they feel the warmth that coming together generates.

Bless those who we call family, whether traditional or alternative. May they, and all of us, remember that the world is alive with the grandeur of God.

Hava wonderful holiday weekend with the family and folks, and remember, if you are driving, drink nothing but cokes!!!!
