No doubt many Americans, are trying to recover today after over stuffing themselves with too much food during many Thanksgiving, meals yesterday. I know I sure am. Just like many others I suppose, I love green bean casserole. I found my self almost fighting my friends and family trying to get a second helping of this particular holiday dish.thankfully, there was plenty of it and everyone was able to have as much as they wanted and thus there was no need to fight over who got the the most, the least, or the last of the green bean casserole As anyone can tell you though, there are some people who will fight over anything often for little or no reason.
Today, I said an extra prayer for my wife Priscilla, for a knew there was at least a possibility, she could be taking her life , in her own hands. She works at the local Walmart, and today, is the dreaded, Black Friday and because of this the Walmart, store where she works, has doubled the stores security. It seems that many of the would be shoppers at Walmart, at this time of year try to steal various kinds, of electronic merchandise still others start fights and threaten to kill each other if some happens to get the last sixty inch big screen TV on sale at 400 off the regular price be fore they do. I love this time of year. You know, there's nothing like peace on earth and good will towards men and to today in far too many retail stores across this country there is indeed nothing like, peace on earth and good will towards men!
You know it's funny, my wife Priscilla, is from the Philippines, and sometimes those who find themselves, among the poorest of the poor many times have to fight for food because they don't have enough money to buy enough food for everyone in a given family on a given day. So often, parents, may not eat on that day so that there will be be enough food for there children to eat.My wife and I, are blessed, to be able to send some money to her family each month so they won't have to fight to decide who doesn't get to eat on a particular day because there wasn't enough money, to buy enough food on a given day so everyone could eat. I only wish every family in the Philippines, was as fortunate as ours.
Good and brave men often go to war and fight for various aspects of freedom like freedom of worship or freedom of speech or freedom from fear or want and to secure these blessings which only true liberty affords many are more than willing and far too often have fought and died to acquire these basic God, given rights, for those who will live after them because liberties such as these are worth fighting and if the situation arises even dying for. I would submit to those who may read these words, that there is nothing in a Walmart store or any retail store for that matter that is worth fighting and possibly, dying for. There fore if Americans, who are blessed by God, to be able to live in the greatest nation on earth must fight and possibly die for some reason, at least make sure the reason, is something, worth fighting and possibly dying for. As always, my friends, these thoughts remain, just some words, to think on.
