November of Thanksgiving 2010

This morning I went out to my car and it was dead.  Dead, dead, dead.

I think I left my lights on.  Or my door cracked.  Or something because it was dead.

I had to take Sam to class, so I asked my neighbor, Sharon, and asked if I could borrow her car.  She handed her keys over and we hurried off.  Got Sam to class in time.  

An hour or so later, I heard a knock on my back door.  Here comes my neighbor, Mike (Sharon's husband), his jumper cables in his hand and his car idling in the driveway.  A quick jump and I was back in business.

I'm thankful for good neighbors who are also good friends; always willing to help and to share, not afraid to ask for help if they need it, ready with an encouraging word or a kind deed.

Thanksgiving is a good thing.  Sharing your thanksgiving thoughts with others is a good thing.  I hope you'll join in with me and others in this November of Thanksgiving!
