I know every holiday deserves its
day in the sun. I get it, I really do!
Still, I see Christmas everywhere
I look! All the stores, Amazon,
Facebook . . . even some of my
friends are already putting up trees.
I can't help but wonder what it's
all about. Maybe it's that our child
within waits the entire year for
Christmas to come around again.
It takes ever so long, and once
November rolls around, we just
can't wait any longer!
But in thinking about it, I realize
Thanksgiving is truly important.
It's that one holiday which reminds
us to set ourselves aside and think
about all those misplaced reasons
for which we have to be thankful.
Family and friends, obviously!
But, not to forget the food we put
on the table, nor the clothes on
our backs and the jobs that provide
them.
The fact that that we haven't
experienced forest fires as so many
have. Floods have not come our
way and my heart so goes out to
those who have suffered.
All we have to do is look around
the world to appreciate just how
blest we have been. So, let's
celebrate Thanksgiving, remember
all those wondrous things for which
we have to be thankful. And may
we please, oh please, help others
who have suffered so much.
take a look around
remembering we are blest
thankfulness matters
