I am currently on the east coast getting ready to celebrate Thanksgiving. Since I routinely begin each day with a time of thanks and praise this is not a novel experience but it is a great excuse to set aside other demands and focus on the blessings God has given me.
I continue to ask God, “Why me?” I ask it because of the blessings. My children and grandchildren will gather with us in unity and harmony. The grandchildren have opinions but those don’t count much. My children are more conservative than I am. They are walking in the faith. It makes for pleasant conversations. I don’t know why me but I am grateful in spite of it.
Remember that the point of Thanksgiving is that we know Whom to thank. Knowing Him gives us a totally different understanding of what the future holds and a confidence that no matter how dark it gets we walk in the Light.
I hope that your Thanksgiving is blessed.
Grace and peace.
