Thankful
in Rankin
When you look up what it means to be “thankful” the
first thing that comes up is, “to be pleased and relieved.”
If you keep reading, the next bullet point will say,
“expressing gratitude and relief.”
In this time of Thanksgiving, we not only are expressing
our gratitude to those in our community, but also to God.
There are no restrictions when it comes to what we can and
cannot be thankful for. With the trials and tribulations that
life throws at us, sad things are unpreventable. Community is
important, and in this issue during the midst of the sad,
we cover the happy things as well, showing gratitude
from Omaha to our neighbors right next door.
And as the season continues, we hold tight to what we
are thankful for. From a man’s best friend, to members of a
private school baseball team leading their way to a college
National Championship title, to a little girl that is stronger and
brighter than all of us, the Rankin County community shines
far and beyond the spotlight on what it means to merely
be thankful. Flip through the next few pages to see just how
steadfast our community is and how coming together as
one can not only impact the community as a whole but
also every individual person who is a part of it.
