Reflections by Alta Nye Oxendine I was shocked to leant of the death of J ante Maynor Locklear. Let' keep I Janie's family in our prayers, along with all others who are dealing with the loss of a loved one or some other crisis. i Back in 1980 it was, I believe, largely the prayers of others that made it 1 possible for me to go on. ] What Is Thanksgiving? " Well, Thanksgiving has come and gone for another year. Or has it? We're used to thinking of Thanksgiving as one special day set aside each year for a feast and some "togetherness" with our families. But "Thanks-giving" means more than just an enjoyable national holiday. IT means even more than a few moments salvaged in between cooking turkey, and all the trimmings, watching Macy's big parade, gorging ourselves with "goodies", talking about hunting trips, or sitting with eyes glued to the football game on TV?to search for a blessing or two hidden behind out more obvious daily problems. , For me Thanksgiving is a time to remember why my children's ancestors , represented by the Pilgrims (probably the two young people who would later welcome John and Priscilla Alder) and their friendly Indian neighbors come , to gather on the first Thanksgiving Day to eat, rejoice and give thanks for their blessings?after the hardships ofmany trials during the year gone by. But thanks giving. I belie ve ought to be just a day, but a year-long attitude. Let's find out from the record of God-worshipping and Christians just what "thanks-giving" really is. This Thanksgiving-Christmas season can be a wonderfhl time to turn to the Psalms to learn more about how to give thanks daily. These Psalms (or songs) were sung to God many centuries ago by the feithftil Jewish People. Take a good look at all ISO Psalms, in the poetic King James version of the Bible. Notice how many begin with such "thanks-giving" phrases as these: "Ogive thanks unto the Lord", "Praise ye foe Lard", "Bless foe Lord". "Make a joyful noise unto the Lord", "Rejoice in the Lord", "O clap your hands, all ye people". "Unto thee O God, do we give thanks", "O Lord, our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth." "I will praise thee, O Lord, with my whole heart" Lately I've been enjoying looking through the Psalms for the many d fluent expressions of praise and thanksgiving. The last five Psalms are all songs of praise. The last verse of the last Psalm (ISO) makes a broad challenge: "Let everything that hath breath praise the Lord." Psalm 117 is short, sweet and to the point: "O praise the Lord, all ye nations; praise him all ye people. For his merciftil kinAwum is great toward us: and the truth of (Re Lord endureth ft* ever praise ye the Lord!" ?T r Merry Chsitmas May you have the Spirit of Christmas which is Peace The Gladness of Christmas which is Hope The Heart of Christmas which is Love ?

Diamonds Put Sparkle Into Hobday Season Whether the sparkler arrives in a glass of cham pagne or is presented on bended knee, a diamond engagement ring?the enduring symbol of love and marriage?is most often given during the year end holiday season. "The holiday season typi cally generates more dia mond jewelry sales than at any other time during the year," said Lloyd Jaffe. chairman of the American Diamond Industry Association (ADIA). "As many as 25* of diamond engagement rings are typically purchased in the year-end buying sea son." he added. In 1991. Americans pur chased an estimated 16.6 million pieces of diamond jewelry?including rings, bracelets, necklaces and pins. In the United States, more than 40% was acquired during the holiday rush. According to Mr. Jaffe. no two diamonds are alike, due to variations in the 4C's: Cut. Caratage or weight. Clarity and Color of the stone. Although buying a diamond can be an over whelming experience. ADIA recommends learning about the 4C's. shopping around, and comparing stones of varying sizes and shapes. While most people are familiar with traditional shapes such as round, pear, emerald, marquis and heart, there are exciting new cuts, known as "flower" cuts and "royal" cuts that are now available. The unusual flower cuts?sunflower, marigold, fire rose and dahlia?and i : royal cuts?empress, dutchess and baroness?appeal to these looking to make a dramatic and individual statement. In addition, many cou ples buy a loose diamond, then proceed?with the help of their jeweler?to design their own diamond ring. Choosing the stone and then mounting separately can result in a truly unique ring that reflects the owner's creativity and taste. Of the world's precious or semi-precious gems, none has achieved the international acclaim of the diamond. In 1991. America imported dia monds at a rate of nearly eight-to-ooe over the com bined value of all other pre cious stones, including emer . aids, rubies, sapphires, etc. And none better symbolizes love, commitment and endur ing values. About 75% of brides in the United States received a diamond engage ment ring in 1991, Regardless of (he stone and mounting that is selected, the diamond engagement ring ijemams a lasting and cherished symbol of romance. Let style and a little knowledge be your guide to finding the perfect dia mond ring this hohday season.
