Thanksgiving, VT style

First off, we just want you to know that we will be closed from Wednesday, Nov. 22 thru Sunday, Nov. 26 for the Thanksgiving holiday.  We truly hope your Thanksgiving will a time of fellowship with friends and family, giving blessings to our creator for all of His marvelous gifts!

What do we mean by "VT style"? Unless you've been away from the state for a very long time, you are aware of how badly VT has been taken over by "progressive" thinking and legislation. We have gone from a state known for it's rugged individuals, farms, muddy roads, sap buckets, church dinners and "lively" town meetings to a state where a lot of us are sitting here trying to figure what just hit us in this past decade - especially these past few years! 

If one is looking for things to feel down about, VT offers that in spades right now.  Abortion is now the new religion, casual sex is the new drug and actual pharmaceutical drug use is at an all-time high. People who speak out against evil are punished, while our legal system is letting dangerous criminals walk freely among us.

HOWEVER, we are reminded often in scripture to take our eyes off the physical and look to the eternal instead. So, for us this year, Thanksgiving VT style is being thankful for the clients who took the initiative and showed up for their appointments, the babies that made it safely into this world, the generous hearts of our donors, our health, cars that run, our warm homes,  our children, our furry friends, friends that love us, food in our pantries and clothes on our backs.  We are richly blessed! 

Take a few minutes each day this week if you can to remember how far you've come and what lies ahead for those who believe on the Son.  We are princes and princesses, headed back to our heavenly Father very soon, to a home that He is preparing for us. Praise God! Give thanks!
