all across the united states today families are celebrating thanksgiving. the american thanksgiving is a huge a day as we in canada have on christmas day. when the golden children were little kids, dad golden brought in the old black and white tv. now mom golden was very fussy about what we kids watched but i am putting a little video clip here of one program that she had no problem with, "father knows best" starring robert young and jane wyatt. now this particular episode, i really can't recall but reading between the lines, i think i can surmise what it is about. it appears that each child was suppose to be away on thanksgiving and dad and mom would be celebrating thanksgiving alone. well as it turns out each of the three children for some reason or the other returns home just in time for the hamburger supper that was prepared. not a turkey in sight and not a pumpkin pie in sight.! but there was a FAMILY in sight! now i had just let you watch this and let you decide for yourself if they had a blessed and happy thanksgiving!
Proverbs 15:17 Better is a dinner of herbs where love is, than a stalled ox and hatred therewith. Psalm 100:4 Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name
happy thanksgiving to our dear american friends! GOD BLESS AMERICA!!...... love bernie and terry and the fat cat!
ps...i was curious about the third chapter of uncle toms' cabin" and so i googled it and found that it is well worth the read[if you don't mind shedding a few more tears!] here is the link.http://www.online-literature.com/stowe/uncletom/3/
i was just over to see miss patty http://livingongrace.blogspot.com/ and my heart was so moved at her post. she is so longing to see the statue of liberty one of these days. I thought of this song and although the statue of liberty isn't really mentioned, LIBERTY is! i hope that you like this miss patty. what i love most about this video is seeing the americans putting their hands right over their hearts. such respect and love they have for their grand old flag and their god blessed country!
to all our american friends, bernie and i wish a happy fourth of july and we are happy that not only are we neighbors, we are friends; god bless your brave troops, your country and your president who we pray for....love bernie and terry

Have a happy Thanksgiving our American friends...love Bernie and Terry
I grew up in a family of nine children and each week my mother didn't just send us to Sunday School,she came with us.
We heard the gospel week after week from the year 1956 but were not saved until 1967.
The summer of 1967 my mother,my sister, Betty and I were all gloriously saved.
From that year until now several of my brothers and sisters were saved, but my dad still remains on the outside.
It has been our prayer that he will be saved soon and then the family circle will be unbroken and we will all be on our way to heaven where we will meet the Lord and see our brother, David who has gone on before.
