Remembering Somewhere over the Rainbow this Thanksgiving.

As children Thanksgiving was very special as we gathered with family and friends around a lavish table in a room utilized only three times each year to celebrate and dine! Then later in the evening we would move to the family room and indulge in leftovers as we watched the Wizard of Oz. No one even the most seasoned finance person ever heard of credit default swaps or derivatives. A home was a safe place to return to each evening and shake off the fall and winter chill. People didn’t view their residence as a piggy bank but rather a place in which to love, nurture and send your children out into the world.

We are currently residing in a home in Las Vegas that was bought and sold three times and the current owner who only resided here for a brief time is seeking protection from her debts through a Chapter 7 filing. It is only an inconvenience to us as we will most likely be forced to move before our rental agreement expires but the sad fact is this home was built to last. It rests on fully one half acre with a sweeping view of the desert out back. The Owner installed a pool and accompanying waterfall and last summer we grew a garden replete with pumpkins, corn, watermelon, squash, cucumbers, and sunflowers. The birds thrived on the seeds and reward us with songs each morning.

The speculators missed the point which is:  “Want what you have, not have what you want” Now their destruction is almost complete lured to the financial ash heap by the goddess of greed and almost taking the country down with them!

May we please step back take a moment and a deep breath and Thank Almighty God for what is really good in our lives. Each Other!

Now please pass the Turkey, and I’ll have some more of that smoked stuffing too!

 

Thank you Lord Jesus now and forever!

 

 

Amen!
