There is one day that is ours. There is one day when all we Americans who are not self-made go back to the old home to eat saleratus biscuits and marvel how much nearer to the porch the old pump looks than it used to. Thanksgiving Day is the one day that is purely American. ~O. Henry

In one more week we across America will be celebrating a day unique to us:  Thanksgiving Day! 

It'll be filled with joy and laughter, song and prayer, feasting and revelry!  It's one of the days that we look most forward to in our calendar year, not because of the turkey and football, but because it brings family together.  It takes us out of ourselves for just a moment, and causes us to reflect on what's truly important to us in this life; family, friends, good neighbors, shelter...there's so much that so many of us have to be thankful for!

And, once again, it is time for the people of Pipeline to share with YOU what it is that makes us feel like we're so blessed.

Scott in our embroidery department writes:

"I am thankful for all prayers directed toward Raena for continued healing with the various medical conditions she has, and for patience with the different medicines that she has to try."

In Aiken, Christine, Shelby and Carli say:

"I am thankful for my friends keeping me grounded and being there for me when I'm down."

"I am thankful for nature's beauty."

"I am thankful for my husband defending this great nation."

Mobile Manager Joseph says:

I'm thankful for my lovely wife of 9 years.  She's the mother of my three, four in about a week, healthy children, and has been by my side through good and bad.

Jennifer in Ordering, Customer Service and Online Marketing shares:

I'm thankful that GOD loves us so much that he gives us sights, scents and sounds to enjoy.  If there were no god, or if we had a god that had no interest in us or our happiness I don't believe the colors of autumn would be as vibrant, the earthy scent of spring so awakening, summer would not be filled with so much life and the snow wouldn't fall in the pines just so in the winter months.  Blessings of beauty and a desire to see his greatest creation enjoy the rest of creation one and all.

Once again, Team Pipeline asks to hear from you!  Please leave us a comment about what you are thankful for during this joyous time of year.  You can leave it here, or write to us on our facebook page!

We'll be back one more time before the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade to share our prayers and our reasons for Thanksgiving with all of our loyal patrons.

Here's wishing everyone a blessing filled week!
