2 Chronicles 7:12 "The Lord appeared to Solomon by night, and said to him. "I have heard your prayer, and have chosen this place for Myself as a house of sacrifice (to Me). Solomon built a temple and dedicated it to the Lord and the Lord accepted his invitation and they spent time together. This is the case with all churches - we build them to worship our God and hopefully invite others to join us there to be with our God. We spend time with God (usually an hour a week) we tithe our 10% (hopefully) and hope that God will guard our lives and our loved ones all of the time. We sacrifice little and receive so much. This is the season (along with Easter) that people come to church. But remember God is there for you, in your life 365 days a year - keep in touch with him.
Get Fit
I worked out cardio and legs today. I know that I will be eating and sitting tomorrow so it is a good idea to get ahead of the problem. Nicole and Kristin are running in a 5 k tomorrow, now that is a good way to start Thanksgiving! I will be in my chair with my pajama's on and a cup of coffee watching the parade. I'll make up for it on Friday. Plan your attack people!!
On this day
1984 Not all Thanksgivings are wonderful, warm happy family times. Things happen to spoil the holiday, and it can be depressing. My boyfriend at the time, Mark had to have a tooth pulled on this the day before Thanksgiving. We drove out to New Baltimore to pick up his son Aaron, who I was just getting to know, he was 6. The best thing he liked about my house was my cat - Leibschen. She turned out to be very fond of him also. Poor Mark missed dinner the next day at his parents because of that tooth. I took Aaron to their house to have dinner with them and later Jan brought dinner to us.
1620 - The Mayflower reached Provincetown, MA. The ship discharged the Pilgrims at Plymouth, MA, on December 26, 1620. And the next day was Thanksgiving and the women prepared a big turkey dinner! (Right, they wish)
Newfoundland
Points of interest and major settlements[edit]
Newfoundland has the most Dorset culture archeological sites. The Beothuk and Mi'kmaq did not leave as much evidence of their cultures.
As one of the first places in the New World where Europeans settled, Newfoundland also has a history of European colonization. St. John's is the oldest city in Canada and the oldest continuously settled location in English-speaking North America.
The St. John's census metropolitan area includes 12 suburban communities, the largest of which are the city of Mount Pearl and the towns of Conception Bay South and Paradise. The province's third-largest city is Corner Brook, which is situated on the Bay of Islands on the west coast of the island. This was recorded as a discovery by Captain James Cook.
The island of Newfoundland has numerous provincial parks such as Barachois Pond Provincial Park, considered to be a model forest, as well as two national parks. I have to question Conception Bay and Paradise? must have been a happy place, huh?
Enjoy the day! Make it memorable! Happy Birthday Nathan!
