Hau'oli La Ho'omaika'i

Hau'oli la ho'omaika'i e nā hoa pepeiao o ke kakahiaka! Happy Thanksgiving Morning Mana'o listeners! As we celebrate thanksgiving we have the opportunity to mahalo aku, show our gratitude for the many pōmaika'i, blessings that we enjoy. Today, I'd like to take a moment to mahalo aku . . . Mahalo aku au i ke Akua no ku'u 'ohana. I am thankful to God for my family. Mahalo aku au i kēia 'āina nani nō. I am thankful for this beautiful land. It is a privilege and blessing to live on Maui. Mahalo aku au i nā kūpuna i hala, no ka 'ike i waiho 'ia na mākou. I appreciate my kūpuna who have passed, for the knowledge they have left for us. Nui ko'u mahalo no nā pōmaika'i a pau. I am very grateful for the many blessings I have received. Today, as we enjoy food, family, friends and a day off from work, may we also take some time to express our gratitude to those around us, those we love. E ho'omaika'i kākou! Aloha nō, a hui hou!
