Easter

     We call it Easter but Resurrection Sunday would be a better name.

     When the Sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of James and Salome bought spices, so that they might go and anoint him. And very early on the first day of the week, when the sun had risen, they went to the tomb. And they were saying to one another, "Who will roll away the stone for us from the entrance of the tomb?" And looking up, they saw that the stone had been rolled back— it was very large. And entering the tomb, they saw a young man sitting on the right side, dressed in a white robe, and they were alarmed. And he said to them, "Do not be alarmed. You seek Jesus of Nazareth, who was crucified. He has risen; he is not here. See the place where they laid him. - Mark 16:1-6 (ESV)

      HE HAS RISEN – Are you thankful for that?

Doctor Day

     I can't say that going to the doctor is an experience we always look forward too. Yes there are times when we need to go for our health's sake and when those times come, weather we like them or not, doctors are people we can be thankful for.

Pickle Day

     While there are many things that can be pickled, when I think of pickles, I usually think of cucumbers, whole or sliced. While I do not usually eat whole pickles, I enjoy having slices on hamburgers and subs. I know there are many varieties of pickles to choose from and more places to have them than hamburgers and subs, so what do you like and where do you like them and are you thankful for them? Today's the day.

Something On A Stick Day

      Today reminds me of the state fair, the place you go to find whet seems like every kind of food on a stick. I think the only food I've eaten on a stick is a corn dog and a Popsicle. Of course, there are other things that can be found on a stick other then food. I suppose, putting things on a stick makes them easier to carry or eat or both so today we can be thankful for things on a stick.

Education and Sharing Day

     If you are reading this than there is a pretty good chance that you have received an education at some time in your life and it might be that you are still receiving one now. While I now kids often do not like receiving one (I have some like that) it is something we all need to be thankful for for education, done right is a valuable thing. Let's be thankful for what we have learned and let's not be afraid to share that knowledge with others.

Make Up Your Own Holiday Day

     I'm not aware that today is a holiday, it might be for someone somewhere though. If it is or not, today is Make Up Your Own Holiday Day. There is a Christmas song that's start out with the words that everybody like to take a holiday, so, since this is Make Up Your Own Holiday Day let's pretend this is a holiday to celebrate holidays and let's be thankful for the holidays we have.

Tolkien Reading Day

     Even though I was never a big fan of reading, once in a while I found I book I enjoyed and read it through. Tolkien's books are some of those I have enjoyed.

      It's Tolkien Reading Day. Have you ever read one of his books? I have read several and I have enjoyed most of them and I have even enjoyed seeing them acted out on the movie screen. While I am not planning on reading any of his books today, I am thankful for the books he has written that I have read.
