On Thursday we will gather to give many thanks. As conservatives we may feel we have less to be grateful for then we have in several years. He are a few items to ponder.
Almost four hundred years ago a ship of pilgrims sailed to the new world, risking their lives for the freedom to worship. They endured the hardships of the ocean voyage, starvation, death, mutiny and loss of faith. Regardless of the hardships, they prayed and gave thanks for God's blessings. It makes today's hardships seem much more bearable when we think of what they endured.
The election is over. Obama IS the president-elect. The Democrats will control the House and Senate. We must give thanks for our conservative Supreme court. May they be healthy and wise.
With the economy in the shape it is in we can expect the survival of the fittest. Who will fare better? First off, that group of people who make over $250k or is it $175k or $40k? Whatever it is, I am sure that group is getting smaller and smaller. So either Obama is going to have to find the money for his socialist agenda elsewhere, or he is going to have to break his campaign promise. My guess is that the rest of us won't be seeing any tax cuts. But in a struggling and highly competitive society, the victors will be the ones who aren't waiting around for a government handout. We give thanks for our need to be self sufficient.
Most important this year, give thanks for all the blessings in your life. Even the sibling who voted for Obama. Though there is uncertainty all around you, always remember to give thanks for your freedom. Remember those who fight for it. And remember those who died for it. We live in the greatest nation in the world. For this we are truly thankful.
