THANKS-giving

Submitted by Tim McDonald, Nov 21, 2007 12:37

Dear Mr. McWhorter,

I invite you to come to Thanksgiving supper at my house tonight, which I am preparing now, or to Thankgiving lunch at my Mom's house tomorrow.

I will flat out guarantee that without any prompting from me in regards to this article, my son-in-law tonight and my brother tomorrow will offer up heartfelt thanks to the Lord, with the central theme of the prayer being giving thanks for all our many blessings.

I am not sure about NYC, but here in Cookeville, TN, there will be more celebrations just as I have described it than the sort where it is just another day off.

I hope you and yours have a wonderful, thankful Thanksgiving!

Tim McDonald
