A whole heaping lot

It's National Read Across America Day, or Dr. Seuss Day as some like to call it. Dr. Seuss wrote some outstanding children's literature, some with lessons that we can still learn. I am a big fan of Dr. Seuss books. Yeah, some are corny, some are silly, but I just like the style, the flow, and the lessons that can be found within the stories.

Blake is pretty excited about today. They are having a Dr. Seuss story time and a party afterwards. He has the red and white striped hat, which is pretty cool,  but the party is what it is all about. Blake and his classmates may not know a whole lot about Dr. Seuss but they know they are going to enjoy the party.

In honor of Dr. Seuss Day, today's word is a Dr. Seuss quote: "You oughta be thankful a whole heaping lot for the people and places you're lucky you're not."

This quote reminds me of how truly blessed I am. I have been in several different countries and I can tell you that even with all of its problems, the United States of America is the greatest country in the world. We are so blessed to be able to enjoy all the resources and opportunities that this great country affords. While some may disagree with my previous statement, I am certainly grateful to be American.

I am also so blessed that GOD put me in the family He did. That He gave me the wife and kids I so richly and thoroughly enjoy. I am so thankful for all the things He has given me and allowed me to experience and relish. When you start thinking about "how much better" it could be, why not be thankful for it not being any worse. For ALL Your many blessings, LORD, I am thankful a whole heaping lot.

Be Blessed,
