Stuffed!! That's what I am. After spending a wonderful weekend with friends and family and too much time at the table ingesting turkey and...and...and...I am constantly reminded of what we have in the United States of America!
We have it, most certainly, REALLY GOOD! This land of plenty and this land of opportunity. Opportunity to build, grow, develop - both personaly and community wide. If we look into the future of that crystal ball, what do we see? A continuing land of plenty that means quality as well as quantity or a declining place? Leaders see opportunity and take full advantage of it. They appreciate what they have and build community by asking, "This is great - now, how can we make it even better for those who follow?"
That's what the founders did, and the leaders of the 19th century and the returning vets from World War II! They led this "Great Experiment" and provided us the opportunity to return the favor for our children.
Let us continue to give, so that the community table is full of opportunity and hope.
The next Thanksgiving is only 361 days away!
