Dear Editor,
It’s never too late to share your thankful list. After five days of being bedridden from a viral flu during the Thanksgiving week, I am very, very grateful for recovery.
At the tip-top of my good list is my best friend, Jesus, who I met personally and divinely on October 14th, 1985. I got to know him through the Holy Bible, which teaches about the many mysteries of God and my teacher, counselor and advocate, the Holy Spirit.
I am grateful for my family, friends, and the neighbors on my street. I’m thankful for my excellent health at the age of 73. I’m thankful for sunrises and sunsets, the birds that sing and chirp loudly every morning, and the butterflies, trees and flowers. I’m thankful that I live in Eatonton, Georgia.
I’m thankful for my desktop computer that lets me travel all over the world without leaving my home – and best of all, meet lifelong friends.
I am thankful for my yellow bike and for my orange bike. I’m thankful for my dentists and the doctors who’ve set my broken bones. I’m thankful for clean water. I’m thankful for my beautiful home and that I don’t owe money to anyone. I am thankful to the city of Eatonton and its people who work all year round to pick up leaves, limbs, and discarded household items.
I’m thankful for the pastors who have a very difficult calling, especially in current times. I’m thankful for our law enforcement, first responders and leaders in office who we are privileged to vote for.
And finally, I am thankful to live in the best country in all the world.
Merry Christmas with thanks, Margaret Gail Rainey
