Thanksgiving to me

Turkey and a lot to eat
Stomach fool, rest my feet.
Family gathered from all around,
Eat some more, then hit the ground.
Pass the gravy one more time.
Food is all over this rhyme.
Football and a bit of TV,
Is that what thanksgiving is for me?
Family is great and so's the food,
But what's the real point of the mood?
Thankful for many things,
And for stuff like toys and rings.
Family, friends and all together.
Even if befoul the weather.
Still a tugging in the heart. 
Turkey day has it's start,
But not of food though some may claim,
And with these words; the faith is lame.
For Jesus and the cross he bear,
Is the thankfulness we all should share.
So now as we call this day something new;
Is it a good thing? Should it be true?
Should we always be thankful?
Yes, We should ever be thankful!
Not on just the day of Thanksgiving,
Every day, because our GOD is living.

I hope everyone has a Happy Thanksgiving, or turkey day, or whatever else you may call it. I celebrate thanksgiving everyday so the vernacular you choose doesn't matter to me! Do you agree or disagree? Tell me why in the comments.

A game in everything!

Everything is a game,
When she falls, the fact remain.
When lying down or upside down,
Still a game can be found.
From peek-a-boo 
To I can see you,
The simplest fun 
Can make you run.
I wonder when the eyes see less.
The morning rain brings depress,
The morning week begins the pain.
Monday begins the chain.
But not so with you and I wonder why?
Is it because we haven't taught you to cry,
About the day and what it bring,
Or is it because your heart does sing,
And ignore the disdain of the day,
And instead run and play?
Are you immune to the frustration we beget,
And that's why you're seldom upset?
Or are we just taught to think this way,
Can, once again, we return to play?
To see a game in every day?

It's funny seeing my little girls play. Everything becomes a game as they walk, talk, hide, or just sit; it becomes a new game. I don't see many adults doing this and wonder when they stopped? Do you know when you stopped playing games with everything you do? Do you still do it? I know I embrace it far more than my wife does, and that sometimes I embarrass her. How about you?

A teacher's heart

I've noticed something about myself.
1. I have a hard time shutting up! (Yeah, I'm that guy that can have an entire conversation with your input. Sorry :x)
2. People still deal with me even knowing number 1.
3. I have always loved sharing what I have learned to help them grow with me.

I think 3 is the best part of me. When I learn something new I always have to share it. As I said in 1, I am that guy that can't stop talking, which is probably why I started a blog in the first place. When I'm really passionate about it I just talk about, and LORD help you if you have a question!

Once it begins,
it never ends.
I read all that I can find.
My mind sees all, then it bind.
Each word that's read stored in my mind.
Easily accessible for all to find.
Ask me once, then never again.
Be you new, or a long time friend.
Your watch you'll check, once then twice.
I'll talk so long, you'll burn the rice.
Stop me quick before I start!
Could it be because I have a teacher's heart?

Does anyone else suffer from this? Surely, I can't be the only person!?
