I’m really looking forward to Thanksgiving this year! It’s been such a crazy time of COVID MADNESS!! but I have a lot to be thankful for. I’ve gotten to spend most of this year with Miss Sharon, which has been more time than we’ve ever had since we got married in 1981. I came through quadruple bypass heart surgery perfectly, (thank you Jesus) and we’ve had a brand new grandson, Lyric Salem Skaggs, our son Luke and his wife Rosemary’s son. So I have so much to thank God for. I’ve never been this unemployed since I started with Ralph Stanley when I was 15, but just as sure as the Lord brought me through heart surgery and blessed me so much, I know the Lord will work all things together because I love Him and I trust Him. Romans 8:28 His Word can’t lie. I’ve sure been praying a lot the last few weeks and I believe He has that too! So when you think of all the things you’re thankful for this year, thank God for sending His Son, Jesus, to take away your sins and mine, and the sins of the whole world if we will just put our trust in Him. He’s the gift that keeps on giving.” —Ricky Skaggs 📷: CMA

#TBT: In November of 1983, Ricky's single, 'Don't Cheat In Our Hometown' (the title track from the Don't Cheat In Our Hometown album) was released to radio. How many of you still have this song or album? What format? 
A Word To Our Veterans. I’d personally like to say thank you to all of our veterans today. You gave your blood, sweat and tears to keep our Nation free, you’re the true Patriots!!! I pray today for your health and long life so you can continue telling us the stories of bravery and heroic acts of your fellow comrades. I know that you don’t like to tell your own story because of your humility, we get that and honor it very much, but God only knows how much we need your voice right now to encourage us in the faith of America. So many people have lost hope in America but I know you precious Veterans have not. So please give us one more story, one more push, we need you once again. You will never be forgotten. We love and honor you today and thank God for your service. -Ricky Skaggs 📷: Ricky Skaggs and Kentucky Thunder playing a USO event in 1998
