Pullstart 62,881 #1 Posted November 23, 2023 Happy to have such a big family, kids and nieces and nephews! Two twin boys were welcomed into the family last weekend, Leighton is a big sister yet again! Tomorrow we are volunteering at the local homeless shelter, serving food all day. Happy Thanksgiving to all my tractor buddies! 5 2 12 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
davem1111 2,030 #2 Posted November 23, 2023 I know just about everyone has challenges, and it's no surprise that sometimes it is difficult to feel thankful. But I think just about anyone can find things to be thankful for. First thing that comes to mind for me, is being in this great country. Yeah, there's plenty to complain about here if you want to, but just think what it would be like to be in Gaza or Israel right now, or many other parts of the world that are suffering. In our house, we reflect on a few things we are grateful for every evening around the dinner table. Tomorrow is an extra special day for that. I hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving with people you love. 2 3 1 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
'67Craftsman's 151 #3 Posted November 23, 2023 (edited) "This thing go any faster", thats cute. Nice videos Kevin, thank you for posting those . There's really a lot to be thankful for. I'm especially thankful that the Good Lord lets me wake up everyday, for my life especially at this point with what I'm going through right now, my family and friends, that we live in a free country, and this great forum. Happy Thanksgiving to everybody and your families! Don't eat too much! Edited November 23, 2023 by '67Craftsman's 1 3 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Darb1964 1,042 #4 Posted November 23, 2023 I struggle every day because every day is a struggle, then I think of all the great friends and family I have that check in on me often. When they say call me anytime and mean it, the members on this forum that I have met that have driven hours to help me put a head gasket on my C160 because something that easy is now not easy for me. A close friend that works sixty hours a week but still makes time to put my pallets in my shed, loads my Wheeler up, takes me deer hunting, guts my deer, bones it out, then ask me what day do you want to go next week. My younger sister that just now checked in on me, my brothers that check in on me often, everyone every where I go people I don't know see me struggle and offer help. This thing called MS. ( MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS ) sure has done a number on me, but as bad as it is it has also shown me how fortunate I am, how blessed I am. God bless America. HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!! 1 2 8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kpinnc 12,055 #5 Posted November 23, 2023 When things get as depressing as life can be (or has been for a long stretch if you watch the news), I'm thankful for my family, my friends, and that I live in a country that still lets me complain or try to make things better. I thank God for the blessings in my life, and pray that each of you and your families have a great Thanksgiving! Remember- stretchy pants are absolutely allowed tomorrow! Crocs optional... 1 2 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

953 nut 55,229 #7 Posted November 23, 2023 None of us live in a perfect world but with the love of friends and family life's difficulties are minor compared to the blessing God has provided all of us. I am more thankful for the ability I have left than I had ever been before. If people who have the privilege of living in freedom and have a roof over their head and food on the table don't feel thankful there is something wrong with them. OK, I will get down from the Soap Box now and enjoy the parade on TV and eat a ridiculous amount of food! Happy Thanksgiving to all. 3 1 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sparky-(Admin) 21,318 #9 Posted November 23, 2023 Thankful for my health…had a few issues this year, but I’m still here and it looks like I’ll be around for quite a bit longer. Thankful that my wife, after being told she was loosing her job, was offered another one and she won’t miss any time. Thankful that this April I will get the official title of Grandfather to a little girl! And on a silly note…thankful that I’m a WH guy and not a John Deere guy! Working on a JD 212 and it’s an absolute nightmare to get access to anything! Hope you all have a good day with family 8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Horse Newbie 7,069 #11 Posted November 23, 2023 Thank you @Darb1964 for post number 4. It is so good to hear someone express their thankfulness and gratitude even in times of trouble. I hope that I portray that feeling to my family and friends also. There is ALWAYS something to be thankful for. We live in a place and time where we can gather with friends and family and gorge ourselves until we can’t hold another bite, and I don’t take that for granted. Give thanks to the Lord ! 2 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
