Selected quotes and notes from Count Time Podcast with LD Azobra Thanksgiving Message 2022

Good evening. Good evening. Good evening it’s 4:00 PM. Stand up it’s count time, time for every man and woman to stand up and be counted. Welcome to another edition of Count Time podcast. I am brother LD Azobra. Thank you for joining us today.

Today gonna be a little bit special day because today that we know the Lord has made and yes, we will rejoice and be glad today is Thanksgiving. As easy as it is to say that, we know a lot goes behind that and we’re talking about how this day came about. I know we like to celebrate, but we also want you to be mindful of the many who died.

No, I know it’s a day that we’re going to celebrate because the day of being with the family, friends and loved ones and we want you to enjoy this day. But I just kind of like to give a little background because also the month of November is Native American Heritage Month.
