THANKSGIVING PRAYER

by Stella Craft Tremble

As autumn ends with bursting bins of grain,

And winter starts his alabaster reign,

We gleaners put the harvest plow away

And humbly pause to bow our heads and pray.

We thank Thee for crops ripened in the bun,

For full land founded on Thy benison (blessing),

We thank Thee for the vintage of the plains;

For sun and soil and fields of golden grain.

For men who braved the dangers of the sea

In valiant search of peace and liberty,

We, born with faith of sturdy pioneers,

Must face and vanquish modern nuclear fears.

We thank Thee for Thy strong protective hand,

And humbly pray, 'God bless our native land.'

We turn to Thee in prayer, lest we forget

We need your help ... we are but pilgrims yet!

We pray 'Let there be a world of Thanksgiving,

And lasting peace, and bread for all the living.'

Worthy Grand Patron Phil's History of OES

Quoting Brother Phil:

Our Beginning ...

I was doing some reading the other day and came across this article on the history of Eastern Star, which I would like to share with you. The history of Eastern Star is divided into 3 eras. The first extended from 1850 t0 1866under the leadership of D r. Rob Morris. The second era extended from 1860to 1876 under the leadership of Robert McCoy. The third era extends from1876 when the General Grand Chapter Order of Eastern Star was established to the present time. The real origin of the Eastern Star, like Masonry, will always be shrouded in mystery. Many researchers believe it had a French origin as early as 1703.By some, this is claimed to be the first inception of 'Female Masonry' or Masonry for both male and female members. There appeared to be a demand for side degrees for ladies during this time and quite a list sprang up. Such as Heroines of Jericho, Danger in the Dark, the Tall Cedars of Lebanon, etc. These were extensively used but soon fell into decay, for lack of lasting worth. As to the real origin of Eastern Star Degrees in its initiatory form, there is not the least doubt that that honor belongs to Dr. Morris. Dr. Morris felt that Masonry should be for the whole family. But knowing that he could not change the Ancient Landmarks of Masonry, he sought some method by which women could share with the Masonic Brother the same inspiration that prompts man to noble deeds. Although he harbored these feelings for years, it was not until after he developed the Eastern Star Degrees in their present initiatory form, that he developed the floor plans and corps of officers. He then conferred the degrees upon his wife and daughters and some neighbors. Presumably having an idea to clothe the ladies with certain words or signs whereby they might make themselves known to Master Masons. These signs and so called mysteries of the Order were communicated freely to all Master Masons and their relatives. Thus our beloved Order was started.

Note from Worthy Grand Esther...

Hi there everyone,

Dave and I have for some years now been working with the Director of Flight93 Chapel, Father Al Mascherino in Shanksville, Pennsylvania both on his website and in support of his work at the Chapel solemn grounds and memorials for those who perished on September 11th.Hehas personally devoted his life and all of his own worldly goods to the preservation and display of these memorials. There is no funding for the projects other than personal donations or sales of items in the gift shop on site and online.

And so, Father Al is compiling recipes to print a recipe book for fundraising for the Chapel and grounds. I told him that NO ONE can cook like our OES and Masonic Fraternity members allover the world. He is looking for time tested diverse recipes of all origins and ethnicities. Please go to the link below and participate. Be sure to click on OES as it asks you where you heard about this project, so Father Al knows who you are.

I appreciate in advance your participation in this endeavor. Of course if you cannot participate or chose not to that is okay too. Please peruse the website and sign the guestbook. The cut off date for receipt of recipes is Mar 31st. The plan is that the cookbook would be available for sale sometime in June.

Please pass this onto members of the Fraternity in your area.

With Fraternal Love and Bear Hugs, Linda

**Linda Hattrick, Worthy Grand Esther, PGM Idaho

Masonic license plates...

Do you have a Masonic Family license plate on your car?

The following appeared in the latest Denver Consistory Newsletter:

"Brethren, we were notified early this year that a number of Colorado license plates termed' group special' would be terminated on June 30, 2007, if groups did not reach3,000 in use. The Masonic Family plate is one of these and as of that date there were only 1721 Masonic Family plates in use.
However, we have been given an extension from the 6/30/07 date and the NEW deadline is February 29,2008 to reach the 3000 number. As of 8/31/07 there were 1751 Masonic Family plates issued."
These unique license plates are available to anyone in the Masonic Family, not just Masons. If the minimum is not met by the 2/29/08 deadline, the state will stop issuing them and also stop renewing those currently issued and they will disappear from our streets. That would be a shame. We're all proud of our Masonic Family membership and displaying these plates shows our pride. You can get these plates at anytime, not just at renewal. Your county clerk will prorate the fees based on the time left until your next renewal.
Please help save our Masonic Family license plates by getting yours today.
Fraternally,
**Larry Wullbrandt, PGP/GGCCM, WP-Manzanita 85,Littleton, CO

My sentiments exactly! As you all know .. we, in WA state, have our own Masonic License Plates and apparently many of you are not proud to be associated with the Masonic Fraternity as you are not 'sporting' one of these 'cool' license plates which in turn supports a worth-while cause. Most everything we own has a Masonic License Plate! If lawn tractors needed a license plate, I am sure it would have one, too! And now another message from today:

After receiving several replies regarding persons inability to purchase these plates, I made some phone calls and what I learned was not encouraging.
My County Clerks office and the Colorado State Motor Vehicle Registration office both told me that one must have either a Masonic Lodge Dues card or a Masonic Family ID card to get the Masonic Family plate. I've heard that some County Clerks will accept a Shrine dues card, but any man with a Shrine card should also have a Lodge card. I've also heard instances where a Masonic Lodge dues card was not accepted.
Since a "Masonic Family ID card' does not exist in Colorado, my opinion is that the ladies of OES, Amaranth, etc., and the youth organizations are out of luck regarding the plates. The plate may say "Masonic Family" but the State apparently doesn't recognize all the bodies who make up the Masonic family.
It appears to me that when this program started, no one in the Masonic hierarchy specified all the Masonic family organizations who should have been eligible for the plate or possibly the State bureaucracy prefers that the plate just go away. Whatever the reason, it's a loss to each
of us.
I have attempted to contact the author of the article that I quoted in my previous e-mail on this subject, but he is out of town until next week. I will follow up with him, but at this point, my feeling is this plate, distinctive to our Masonic Family, will disappear from the streets of Colorado in the near future.
Those who presently have a Masonic Family license plate should hang onto them as a memento of better times.
Wish I had better news to relay.
Fraternally,
** Larry Wullbrandt, PGP/GGCCM, WP-Manzanita 85,Littleton,CO

Quantity recipes ...

I have used the book at the Girl Scout camp many times, but since I don't have access to it any more, I found a web site the other day that was helpful. www.ellenskitchen.com.
I don't remember who brought up this subject, but our chapter provided refreshment for our Lodge for years. We just took them there and it was on the honor system that each one would contribute if they ate. It got so that we would send for 12-15 and we might get $5.00 and we have so few Sister's now to do it, that we have stopped. I figured that if it was all gone, they ate until they cleaned the plate and were satisfied and if there were leftovers or the container was gone, someone took them home. We do have one Chapter member who is a single Mason and he would often volunteer to supply the refreshments. If they don't complain or comment about not having enough, then assume they are satisfied.
I hope that everyone in the USA has a very Happy Thanksgiving and be well and most of all travel safe.

Thank you …

Hi Connie,

It is good to hear that you are feeling better. When you called me you sounded so horrible that I was wondering how long it would be before you got well again. It certainly is not very pleasant to be down and out with all the activities that are going on now. I had a lovely Reception and have many wonderful memories. I would appreciate it very much if you could please put this note in your next issue of the Stars.

"I would like to thank everyone for attending my Reception Oct. 20 and also thank everyone for them any beautiful cards I have received."

Bad Virus...

This one is real. I checked it on Snopes.

BAD Virus --CNN announced -- Snopes confirms as real. Here is a link to the snopespage: http://www.snopes.com/computer/virus/postcard.asp

PLEASE SEND THIS TO EVERYONE ON YOUR CONTACT LIST!!

A new virus has just been discovered that has been classified by Microsoft as the most destructive ever. This virus was discovered yesterday afternoon by McAfee . This virus simply destroys Sector Zero from the hard disk, where vital information for its functioning are stored.
This virus acts in the following manner: It sends itself automatically to all contacts on your list with the title: 'You've received a Post Card from a Family member'.

As soon as the supposed virtual card is opened the computer freezes so that the user has to reboot. When the ctrl+alt+del keys or the reset button are pressed, the virus destroys Sector Zero, thus permanently destroying the hard disk. Yesterday in just a few hours this virus caused panic in New York, according to news broadcast by CNN.

This alert was received by an employee of Microsoft itself.

So don't open any mails with subject:' A Post Card from.' As soon as you get the mail, delete it!! Even if you know the sender!!! Please pass this mail to all of your friends. Forward this to everyone in your address book. I'm sure most people, like myself, would rather receive this notice 25 times than not at all!

Hmmm...

Although Thanksgiving is a holiday that typically involves abundance, most of us don’t want or need more “abundance” on our waistlines. On Thanksgiving Day, the average American eats between 2,000 and 4,500 calories, which is a significant jump from the 1,600 to 2,400 calories that are consumed on a typical day.
Calorie laden feasts of turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes and pumpkin pie can sabotage your good intentions to watch the calories. But with a little adjustment to the ingredients, your Thanksgiving feast can include traditional foods that have all the delicious taste, but far fewer calories.
For a lower fat turkey, make sure you select one that isn’t self-basting so you can avoid the extra fat. Many store-bought turkeys contain antibiotics. Organic varieties are raised humanely and without the additives, are available in health food stores. Stuff the turkey cavity with whole or halved onions, halved lemons or apples and sprigs of fresh herbs such as sage, marjoram, thyme and rosemary. Instead of rubbing the skin with butter or oil, spray it with an oil spray and season it with salt and pepper. If you are hosting a small gathering, consider buying a turkey breast instead of the whole bird, as breast meat is lower in calories than dark meat.

Most people include gravy in their Thanksgiving menus and it is one of the biggest calorie culprits on the table. Try using vegetable oil instead of turkey drippings when making the gravy. Better yet, make a low-fat broth-based gravy or vegetarian gravy.
Here are some other tips to help you avoid the nutritional hazards of Turkey Day:

• Don’t skip breakfast and lunch to “save space” for the big meal. If you eat healthfully throughout the day, the food will be digested by time for dinner. Also, if you are hungry when you sit down for Thanksgiving dinner you will be more prone to eat fast which usually causes you to eat more.
• Wait a few minutes on that second helping. The first plate you just consumed is still making its way into your stomach. It may seem like you have more room in your stomach but you actually don’t. Enjoy the conversation for a bit. You may find that in 10 minutes you really don’t want the second helping after all.
• Start with the veggies. When you serve your plate, pile on the veggies first. Make the majority of your plate healthful and minimize the amounts of candied yams, stuffing and gravy that you serve yourself.
• Skip the bread. You don’t need rolls or cornbread. Thanksgiving meals are loaded with complex carbohydrates.

Start a family tradition of taking a walk together after the Thanksgiving meal. This will help digestion and will get your metabolism in gear so you can burn some of the calories you consumed. It also provides quality time to visit with relatives and build happy memories that don’t revolve around food. And healthy traditions are something to be thankful for!

Remember this email from last week re: Christmas Cards?

The following excerpt is from the Walter Reed website and lists other sites devoted to troop support.
Holiday Cards to Wounded and Recovering Soldiers
Walter Reed Army Medical Center officials want to remind those individuals who want to show their appreciation through mail to include packages, letters, and holiday cards addressed to 'Any Wounded Soldier' or 'A Recovering American Soldier' that Walter Reed cannot accept these packages in support of the decision by then Deputy Undersecretary of Defense for Transportation Policy in 2001. This decision was made to ensure the safety and well being of
patients and staff at medical centers throughout the Department of Defense.
In addition, the U.S. Postal Service is no longer accepting "Any Service Member" or "A Recovering American Soldier" letters or packages. Mail to "Any Service Member" that is deposited into a collection box will not be delivered.
Instead of sending an "Any Wounded Soldier" letter or package to Walter Reed, please consider making a donation to one of the more than 300 nonprofit organizations dedicated to helping our troops and their families listed on the "America Supports You" website www.americasupportsyou.mil
Other organizations that offer means of showing your support for our troops or assist wounded service members and their families include:
http://www.usocares.org/
http://www4.army.mil/ocpa/tooursoldiers/
http://www.redcross.org

For individuals without computer access, your local military installation, the local National Guard or military reserve unit in your area may offer the best alternative to show your support to our returning troops and their families. Walter Reed Army Medical Center will continue to receive process and deliver all mail that is addressed to a specific individual. As Walter Reed continues to enhance the medical care and processes for our returning service members, it must also keep our patients and staff members’ safe while following Department of Defense policy. The outpouring of encouragement from the general public, corporate America and civic groups through out the past year has been incredible. Our Warriors in Transition are amazed at the thanks and support they receive from their countrymen.
