A time for Thanks

Quite often, for our folks at the Chapel I give them David's (that's me) Top ten. Not wanting you to be left out . . here is a David's top ten things to be thankful for.

I am thankful …

10. That peanut butter-and-jelly sandwiches are always a safe stand-by when Uncle Dave's trying to cook the turkey in the microwave.

9. That Thanksgiving is the one time you can eat for 8 hours straight, feel like ya gotta be rolled away from the table, but you keep right on eating.

8. For getting two days of school off—even though your teachers gave you so much homework, you'll never get it done by New Year's.

7. For that one food dish you never quite know what it is.

6. For finally graduating from the "kids' table" to the "adults' table." (I graduated a few years ago.)

5. That there's always a football game to snooze through, despite the fact you're sharing a love seat with five of your relatives.

4. For hearing Grandpa pray.

3. That black olives, a.k.a. finger puppets, can add entertainment to any meal.

2. For washing your dishes—and those of 14 other relatives.
And the number 1 reason to be thankful on Thanksgiving …

1. That God loves us so much, he gave us a family to love, a turkey to eat, and a Son to save our souls.
