This is the Day

I don't know what was planted behind that fence when that picture was taken. I know what's planted there now is asparagus. The squirrel can just be seen as a shadow on the other edge. Squirrels are funny critters. Like the birds around here they like the proximity of food. I don't know that we have the fattest squirrels—we don't feed them purposely in the winter, but we do have some of the fattest birds.

Which brings me to the topic of today. Thankfulness. Most of us know of people who no matter what good may come to them they are not happy.

Like this person in

Ecclesiastes 6:3 "If a man beget an hundred children, and live many years, so that the days of his years be many, and his soul be not filled with good, and also that he have no burial; I say, that an untimely birth is better than he."

Of late there have been a number of discontented people who apparently hate this country and want to make it into something else. I can't believe these people are so blind and ignorant. Have they never been out of this country and have they never seen what most other countries live through? Since the illness that is plaguing us and the riots with the looting and burning going on some of our stores have had trouble obtaining their shipments and are getting low on supplies. Old Fuzzy doing grocery shopping today noticed shelves here and there that weren't full.

Old Fuzzy has done mission work in other countries and I think these blind ignorant people who don't love their own country ought to move to one they would like better. They should move to Africa, Saudi Arabia, or best of all China or Russia. Even the fat birds and squirrels are grateful for their blessings, we of all God's creation ought to be even more so than they.

Psalms 118:

24) "This is the day which the LORD hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it. 25) Save now, I beseech thee, O LORD: O LORD, I beseech thee, send now prosperity."
