“When asked what would he do if he found $l million, Yogi responded, if the guy was poor, I’d give it back.” Yogi Berra

At the rate some ceo’s, movie stars, and athletes make money, I guess if all they made was a million dollars they would consider that as poor. Poor Tiger is going to lose $6 million from Buick. Makes you want to cry doesn’t it.

“If you put the federal government in charge of the Sahara Desert, in 5 years there’d be a shortage of sand.” Milton Friedman

Have you ever wondered why the government can never handle anything like it should? We as citizens sometimes take on the same behavior. This may be one reason why we find ourselves in the economical crises of today.

“Foreign aid might be defined as a transfer from poor people in rich countries to rich people in poor countries.” Douglas Casey

I think this quote is more accurate than what we would like to believe. You would not mind it as much if the poor people actually received the goods to better their lives. Many cases they never receive the goods and never know they were even sent.

“Thanks be to God for His indescribable gift!” II Corinthians 9:15

“Praise the Lord. Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good; his love endures forever.” Psalm 106:1


“Enter his gates with thanksgiving and his courts with praise: give thanks to him and praise his name. For the Lord is good and his love endures for ever; his faithfulness continues through all generations.” Psalm 100:4-5

I don’t know your situation on this Thanksgiving Day. Whether you are up or down, sad or glad, with someone or without someone, I want you to know that whatever God has promised in this scripture is yours to have, reach out and take it for yourself.

i don’t know how many view Sunrise Solutions each day, but to those that do I want to thank you and I hope they are an encouragement to you and for you.

“The pilgrims made seven times more graves than huts…nevertheless, set aside a day of thanksgiving.” H.W. Westermayer

Read the story of the Mayflower and the trip the Pilgrims made on their way to America. The Mayflower was a cargo ship and not a cruise ship. Three women were pregnant when they started the journey. One gave birth while at sea and they called the baby, Oceanus.

“Thanksgiving dinner takes eighteen hours to prepare. They are consumed in twelve minutes. Half-time takes twelve minutes. This is not coincidence.” Erma Bombeck

You kind of wonder sometimes where our priorities might be found. You cooks out there might wonder if it is worth all of the time you spent to prepare the meal. Then of course you would say ,yes it was worth the time, because you have the family together even though they may be watching a football game.

“gratitude is a quality similar to electricity: it must be produced and discharged and used up in order to exist at all.”      William Faulkner

I wonder, with the economical situation we are facing in America today , if we might not become a more grateful people. Sometimes it takes a painful ordeal to produce gratitude in our lives. I guess we might call it a gratitude attitude change.

“Silent gratitude isn’t much use to anyone.” G.B. Stern

I’m sure there are times when we want to thank someone but for some reason we just can’t get it out. Maybe we are too shy, too proud or too busy to actually say THANK YOU. This Thanksgiving season why not say thank you to someone that you have never thanked before.
