Bright Circle

A long time ago when darkness fell, families would gather in the living room. Father would clean his gun, Mother would sew, Older Brother would work on a puzzle, Older Sister would knit, and the little once would tumble around with the dog. Sitting in the living room with family is a precious thing - a time to hear stories, or listen to the radio. But enjoying the family nowadays is not as important to many as it was before. Everyone rushes off to do their own things. Let us not lose this wonderful feeling of family togetherness. Let us come into this bright circle of love and laughter together.

Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving is a tradition in every family. In some way, a family always celebrates the bounties of the year. You sit down at the table, you say a prayer, your father cuts the turkey, you dig into the cranberry sauce, and enjoy the company of family. Is this what Thanksgiving is all about?

Think what it really stands for. The Pilgrims had just survived a bad sea crossing and a cold winter. They had made friends with the Indians and were thankful to God for his providence. You are free to enjoy all the food; just make sure you take a minute to thank God for his love and providence.
