[SIZE="3"][B]For everyone that reads this one post today, I ask of only one thing from all of you.

Enjoy this fun-filled and festive day for what it's worth, enjoy the food, family and football all day long. But my one request s to take the time out at least once today to remember someone who may not share our same sentiments on this day.

There are those on this very day who have lost a loved one recently; who are dealing with a sickness or affliction; or going through the loss of job or livelihood. Not everyone out there shares the same positive thoughts and will enjoy this day as much as us. So while we say our prayer to God for everything that is thankful in our lives, let us please say a prayer for those who are suffering that they may find something thankful themselves.

God bless you all my Bluegrass Rivals family. We all love, hate, or tolerate each other on this site, but I prayer that we all come together as one on this single request.

I truly believe in my heart that we do not physically need to be together today to achieve that of Matthew 18:20

Our Father in Heaven, We give thanks for the pleasure Of gathering together or this occasion. We give thanks for this food Prepared by loving hands. We give thanks for life, The freedom to enjoy it all And all other blessings. As we partake of this food, We pray for health and strength To carry on and try to live as You would have us.

O God, when I have food, help me to remember the hungry. When I have work, help me to remember the jobless. When I have a home, help me to remember those who have no home at all. When I am without pain,
help me to remember those who suffer. And remembering to help me to destroy my complacency, and Instill me with compassion, and be concerned enough to help.

This we ask in the name of Jesus Christ,
Our Heavenly Father.[/B][/SIZE]
