It seems like it was just yesterday that “turkey day” was happening. Time does get by and the years get shorter every day that goes by. Time and age are no respecter of person and for me no matter what science and medicine says the days that have been allotted to us by God… only God knows. We are all in that book and it takes me back to what has become my favorite saying…it is what it is. I thought it might be worth a ponder to spend a little time around this “holiday thing”. The United States federal government recognizes 12 holidays: 11 federal holidays
These are:
New Year’s Day…  Martin Luther King Jr. Day… President’s Day…  Memorial Day…  Juneteenth National Independence Day…  Independence Day… Labor Day… Columbus Day…  Veterans’ Day… Thanksgiving Day… Christmas Day.

Add this one to the list…Inauguration Day…
This holiday is observed every four years on January 20, or January 21 if January 20 falls on a Sunday. It’s only observed by government employees in Washington, D.C. and the border counties of Maryland and Virginia.

People in general love holidays…family, fun, food, day off from work, overtime if you work and I am sorry to say some use the holidays to just raise hell. Some holidays have a religious background, some recognize historical events and other pay homage to those who gave all so that we might celebrate these special days. Now I don’t want to drag this out because tomorrow is a holiday…Thanksgiving to be exact… and one peculiarity that has crept in over the years… it seems some people need the day before to get ready for a day off and the day after to adjust to coming back to work and some just leave early to leave early…? My ponder for this holiday is simple… Make God, Family and the community of believers part of your day… and please pray for those whom Thanksgiving Day… and in reality any holiday is just another day because they don’t have the ability to make it any different…Ponder That…
