Sympathy goes out to Rev. Fr. J. Kenneth Major and his family in the loss of his wife Betty, who died on the train while returning home from Raleigh, North Carolina after visiting her daughter Nicole and granddaughter. Betty is also the mother of Yolanda. Deepest sympathy.

Since Thanksgiving is near, we should always be thankful for each day. Think about the following:
Be thankful that you don’t already have everything you desire. If you did, what would there be to look forward to? Be thankful when you don’t know something, for it gives you the opportunity to learn.
Be thankful for the difficult times. During those times you grew.
Be thankful for your limitations, because they give you opportunities for improvement.
Be thankful for each new challenge, because it will build your strength and character.
Be thankful for your mistakes. They will teach you valuable lessons.
Be thankful when you’re tired and weary, because it means you’ve made a difference.
It’s easy to be thankful for the good things. A life of rich fullness comes to those who are also thankful for the setbacks. Find a way to be thankful for your troubles and they can become your blessings.
A very blessed Thanksgiving!
