On the eve of this Thanksgiving holiday, I wanted to take a moment to wish you and your family a day filled with love, laughter and of course good food!
Also, to take the opportunity to express my personal gratitude towards you, our readers. Each day I am so blessed to meet folks and learn their story. Moreover, to share that story with the rest of you! Every day is a gift and for that I am grateful.
I was afforded quite possibly the most humbling opportunity of my journalism career this week. Hackett Police Chief Darrell Spells and Sebastian County Sheriff Deputy Mike Burcham allowed me to accompany them as they delivered boxes of food for Thanksgiving. It’s truly a day I’ll never forget and was quite emotional for me personally.
I had been asked to come on the radio show, Conduit News with Paul Harrell, this morning. I am grateful to Gary Epperson who made those arrangements. Furthermore, I am humbled by the responses. What I do is not a job to me, it’s my heart, it’s my passion and it’s something I take very seriously.
As we gather with family and friends remember there is plenty to be thankful for. The food before us, those around us, our freedoms and for those who fight to protect them. Lastly, and most importantly, giving thanks to God in ALL things.
Take a step back today, remove yourself from the “noise” of life and reflect on all of your blessings and give thanks!
Happy Thanksgiving!
