So when we're pulling our hair out wondering where we're going to

get the money for all the Christmas gifts our children want, when

we're frazzled trying to get a big Thanksgiving dinner on the table,

remember this poor family who is burying their precious baby tomorrow.

Say a prayer for them and thank God for all the blessings we take for

granted.

Kind of puts things in perspective, doesn't it.>>

Having a son that age, it DOES put it into perspective. Thank you for

reminding us of the important things in life.

While we're on the topic, let us also remember the 5,000 plus husbands

and wives, brothers and sisters, mothers and fathers, aunts and

uncles, grandfathers and grandmothers who won't be joining their

families at Thanksgiving and the Holiday season. May they all rest in

peace and never be forgotten.
