Tomorrow is Thanksgiving Day

November 27th, 2013 by Joe Burgess

country church

So many times we call a couple of days in November “Thanksgiving,” without realizing how blessed we are to live in a country where we have so much to be thankful for.

We have freedom, education, the ability to go where we want to (when we want to), and the right to worship God.

Let’s make Thanksgiving be a point of view, and more than just 2 days in November.

Greetings from the Arkansas legislature! I hope you missed my article last week and I sincerely apologize for not getting it in on time. I was attending a three – meeting combined SREB (Southern Regional Education Board) conference representing Arkansas. I’ll summarize that meeting next week, but first, I want to say how much I enjoyed the Veterans Day ceremonies in Monticello and in Hamburg on Veterans Day. It is comforting to see so many people taking a short time out of their holiday to say “Thank you” to our veterans. With each year’s passing fewer and fewer veterans are still with us; Drew County lost at least three WWII veterans in the week before Veterans Day. I really appreciate both counties efforts on Veterans Day and regret missing the bagpipes in Hamburg. Thank you to all our veterans!
