Meditations by B. C. Money

As we come into the fall season and the Thanksgiving holiday we have much to be thankful for.   We are thankful for life, for living peacefully with one another, for serving God with a true heart as laid down in the New Testament, for the bountiful crops and for the lovely scenery that has been displayed by the coloring of the leaves on the trees.   It seems they have never been more beautiful and as they fall to the ground and die.

Many of use are living in the evening shadow of time and will soon return to earth to await the resurrection morn.   Yes, we are thankful for loved ones and for friends.   We are so glad for the little squirrels that we can watch from our window as they run and play and feed on the food we provide for them.   We spend much time watching them and the many different kinds of birds that also come for their feed and sing their melody of song and to hear the call of the quail as the day fades.   We plead with the gun man to spare the lives of these sweet little creatures.

We are also glad and thankful that the 1962 election is over.   And hope everybody will get settled and perhaps by the time another election comes the candidates will apply the golden rule to guide their campaign.
