 Family is Everything…
Happy Thanksgiving

Gary is glad the football on Thanksgiving morning
became a tradition...

Thanksgiving...did become a tradition and
for our family, the football game also
became a tradition...

Another tradition is watching the
Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade.
A fun history of this is the movie from 1940s
"Miracle on 34th Street" with
Maureen O'Hara and Natalie Wood.
This might be Natalie Wood's debut movie. 
Daily Scripture: Let us come before his presence with thanksgiving, and make a joyful noise unto him with psalms. - Psalm 95:2
