I’m thankful and blessed to have a supportive, beautiful and loving wife. I’m thankful for my family and their health. I’m thankful I have a good employer with a good job that has good benefits. I’m thankful that I have clean water and a roof over my head. I’m thankful for peace in our country. I’m thankful for my health and my mind, to do many things I decide to put my mind and my efforts into. I’m thankful for many things…
Enjoy these Weekend Reading articles and Happy Thanksgiving.
