    I am thankful that my family is healthy and doing well. I'll be thankful if my daughter and her boyfriend can get home safe before the snowstorm hits.
    I am also thankful for FHC. It can be really depressing watching the news. All of the people on this site make me realize that this is still a great country. Every day I read about how hard our members work, how they care about their friends and family and people they don't even know. I think of FHC as the Mayberry of the web.
    Happy Thanskgiving.:)

    Good post Jack....I'll give my two cents...

    I'm thankful for my wife......whom without I don't think I could survive. Honestly she's one of the true miracles in my life, grew up near me all those years and honestly there isn't a single person on earth that I'd rather grow old with..

    I'm thankful for my kids and their health. Three brilliant minds, all with a close relationship with Christ. My oldest son is autistic and, with all the ups and downs that brings, I love him immensely just who he is.....

    I'm thankful for life as an American......I'm thankful for the men and women that sacrifice their own lives/time for our freedoms. I haven't had it easy but I've made the best of what was given to me, and I'll die fighting for that same dream for my kids.....


    And I'm thankful for all of you guys and gals here at FHC. This place has brought me up when I had a bad day, it has given me friends all over the planet and I consider a lot of you family.

    That said, everyone have a wonderful Thanksgiving. May you all be blessed with health, happiness and safety throughout the entire year.

    I'm thankful to have two healthy, happy children and a wonderful wife.

    I'm thankful to have a nice home and a warm bed to sleep in at night.

    I'm thankful that common sense, common decency and personal accountability and integrity haven't become completely extinct and for those who exhibit these traits (ie people on this site amongst others).

    I'm thankful for a wonderful wife, a warm home, good job, healthy kids,parents that took me to church even though I ran from it for several years after becoming an adult the Good Lord always had me in his hand. Most of all I'm thankful for Christ's sacrifice and a wonderful future because of it.

    Happy Turkey Day to one and all of my FHC family.

    Good one Jack. I'm thankful for a family I love who loves me, great neighbors and friends who are always there for me, and for every day I get to be here. I'm thankful for all of you good folks, you all inspire me to work hard and keep the things that really matter in perspective. Thanks to all of you guys, Happy Thanksgiving.

    I am thankful for finding the FHC. This group is one of the few places that I feel the people are genuinely good people. Even if we disagree we get along and do not let our egos let minor things split us apart. This place feels like my small group of friends I have. Sadly my core group of friends and the FHC I feel are more trustworthy than even some family members. So thank you FHC for letting me pull a stump up to sit on and share the warmth of your fire!

    So well said. I would like to be able to contribute more, but for now, that is on hold. This is a great group of folks and I am very thankful to participate in this forum.
