Why are people so thoughtless and unthankful sometimes? Mrs. E.B. Answer: Thanksgiving is a special time to stop and give thanks to God for all His blessings to us. After all, everything that we have comes from God, and we need to remember His blessings and give thanks to Him for every one of them. "Praise the Lord, my soul, and forget not all his benefits" (Psalm But perhaps Thanksgiving should also be a time to remember others and thank them for what they mean to us.

Yes, your neighbors should be more thankful for your kindness and should express it to you. Perhaps your letter will remind someone (even your neighbor!) to express thanks to others more frequently.

The Apostle Paul said concerning some of his Christian friends, "I thank my God every time remember you because of your partnership in the gospel" (Philippians We need to thank God for each other and to let others know that we appreciate them. Do you do this in your own life? This is especially important in a marriage or a family, because we can easily forget and take each other for granted. Why are people so thoughtless sometimes? The reason is that apart from God we are all naturally self-centered and concerned mainly about ourselves.

That is one reason we need Christ. because He can take away our selfish spirit and replace it with His love and thankfulness.

Coe Civils: daughter, Connie Tandy: son, Kenny H. Civils: sister, Louise Beal: brother. Tom Civils: three grandchildren. ASSOCIATED PRESS Bloomington, Ind. Like a scene out of a Disney movie, a dog that leaped over a veterinarian's fence five months ago has been found by its owners.

But unlike the stories of his motion picture counterparts, the bulk of Lobo's adventure will forever go unrecorded. However, what has been witnessed was the delight shared by man and animal at a reunion Thanksgiving eve at the Bloomington Animal Shelter. As he had for some time, the large German shepherd lay dejectedly in the corner of his cage. His drooping eyes barely moved and his head rarely lifted from his paws. Then a man, woman and young girl arrived and peered in at the animal.

The dog jumped excitedly from the floor, raced to the cage door and began barking. "Lobo, my Lobo, how did you ever get here?" the woman shouted. If shelter Director Jim Lang had any doubts that the lost animal was the one the Waeger family of Martinsville had been looking for since June 16, he was convinced when the cage door was unlocked. Squeezing through the barely opened slot, the dog dashed among the three visitors, licking their hands, faces and shoes. Lobo's adventures began when Horst and Lenore Waeger took him to a Greenwood veterinarian's office for an undetermined ailment.

After just one night, the 3- year-old dog jumped the vet's fence and disappeared. The family placed newspaper and radio ads, but efforts to find Lobo proved fruitless. Months later, a family named Spencer noticed a stray dog hanging around its home. Checking with neighbors, the people found no owner for the wanderer and were worried about what might happen. The family brought the dog into the shelter Wednesday.

The dog didn't have any identification except a state tax tag: Through the Morgan County assessor's office, Lang was able to find the name and telephone number of the taxpayer. Lang called the Waegers. They rushed in about five minutes before closing time, accompanied by 11-year-old granddaughter Michelle Biggs. "I was so excited I could not even talk," Lenore Waeger said.
