Today, many of us will gathered together to give thanks to God for all of HIS goodness.
As we give thanks for all that we have been, let us be mindful of those that have little or nothing this holiday season.
As we thank God for our children let, us be mindful of those who do not have children or have loss children.
As we give thanks for our food, let us remember that there are those who will have nothing to eat during this season.
As we thank God for our clothes, let us remember that there are people out in the cold with no clothes and no heat.
As we give thanks to God for giving us eyes to see, ears to hear, mouths to talk, legs to walk, let us remember those who do not have these physical attributes or have lost them in battle for our Country.
Although, we may not have a Mercede in the garage, we may not have the biggest house in the community or the most improved, we may not even have a job come Monday morning, we many not have money in the bank, but we DO have our lives, we DO have our souls, and we DO have you, God, and for that we are THANKFUL.
So during this holiday season, we just want to say thank you, thank you, thank you Lord, for being our God and giving US SO MUCH.
Amen, Amen.
It has been two years since I decided to remove myself from the political scene in Mount Rainier, MD, Prince George's County, and the State of Maryland. Holding the lofty position of Mayor was such a great honor, but as the years flew by, I realized that it was time to do something else -- get a life.! I did, and still continue to provide resources to the residents through The Front Porch Ministries (TFPM). Real people pass through The Front Porch Ministries weekly. LIFE is good.

HAPPY THANKSGIVNG TO ALL
As a long-time resident of Mount Rainier and a homeowner, it is important to me that municipal government be inclusive of all of its residents.
It is equally important that information be communicated through all possible channel so that residents can get involved.
It is also important for residents to volunteer and serve on committees, commissions, boards and task forces.
I truly believe that municipal government is the government closes to the people, and as such should be easily accessible.
This BLOG is another effort to reach out to the residents of Mount Rainier.
