Today's Thoughts for Thanksgiving

TODAY IS THANKSGIVING DAY 2019. HAPPY THANKSGIVING DAY TO ANYONE WHO MAY HAPPEN ON TO THIS BLOG AND ACTUALLY READY IT.
For today I am going to make just a couple of comments, AKA, thoughts of the day and then post and get off.
1. I am thankful for what I have. My house is not the best, and not what I would desire to have, but so far it is intact and warm and for that I am thankful. We have had rain for nearly 22 hours now, with a little snow during the past evening that didn't last long and the temperature is not unbearable. There are so many suffering on this day from illness, storms much worse that the one I just mentioned, earthquakes and fires and floods. So far, I and mine, mostly, have been spared from the bulk of these disasters.  Our family has been blessed with two new babies (great grandbabies for us) and there are three more to be born in the next few months. Always grateful and thankful for family, even though we may not get together very often, because of distance and work and school etc. So, on this Thanksgiving day, I am thankful most of all for my knowledge of the plan of Salvation that our Father in Heaven put in place before the earth was formed and the family of Man was placed here in the Garden of Eden and Adam and Eve began this family that we all belong to.  Have a great day.
2. With all that being said, I have to mention the New York City Macy day Parade.  We watched it as a family as our children were growing up and we acquired a TV set. We always enjoyed watching it, so today I turned on the TV and it was off the air. OK  No Problem. Later in the morning I turned it on and it was back on the air and the Parade was in progress. BUT, I couldn't see the parade for the TV station "Personalities" being in the way. I didn't turn to the parade just to watch Savana and Hoda and Al. So I turned to another channel. Yep, they had the parade on but you couldn't see the parade for the TV personalities talking about the great football game that was coming on later today and the players and how great they are  blah blah blah. So I turned to another channel to watch something else and hope the parade was good and that someone got to enjoy it. Maybe I'm just to old to be enamored with the various TV entities and what most people watch these days. 
AND THAT'S THE VIEW FROM THE DITCH BANK
