Thanksgiving 2011

[RevSmoke]

Yes, I know it is a few days away, but I'm just trying to beat the rush.

I am thankful year round for many different things, but somehow, that isn't the way of most people. Many are those who need a special day to remind them to be thankful.

Well, I'd like to just name of few of the many things for which I am thankful:

God - who gave me life, who gave Himself to die for my sins, and the Holy Spirit who has worked faith in me to believe.

The many talents and abilities I have, given to me as a gracious gift of God.

And some of the special gifts he has given me include (but are not limited to):

My wife - who loves me in spite of my many faults.
My sons - who give me great joy and a deep sense of pride.
My parents - who gave me the foundation for the man I am.
My brother - who, while we didn't always get along, is my best friend.

My many friends - who know many of my faults and still appreciate me.

The TOE - for putting the board in place so that we can hang out here.
The friends I have made here.

and on this board, the many talented individuals who produce cigar, make pipe, and blend pipe tobacco from the gifts God gave us.

May God be with you all to have a blessed Thanksgiving.

Well said brother. I am thankful for so many blessings this year. My beautiful wife and the life she's creating inside her, my two boys who fill me with so much joy and pride, my family, my sisters, my mom for the life changes she is undergoing with my dad, and finally I am very thankful for having my dad around this year after his triple bypass in August. We nearly lost him and everyday with him here is a gift. And I am also very thankful for the great people here and their friendshiPs. I love this place. Thanks for having me here.
