This week, as we either travel or welcome family and friends to our homes for Thanksgiving, we must remind ourselves that this special day is much more than dinner and dialogue. To truly appreciate the warmth this season brings, commit to doing three things: First, set aside time each day this week to pray, giving thanks to God for his abundant blessings in your life; second, seek opportunities to help those less fortunate, those who may not have the benefit of a hot meal or who lack basic necessities; third, make a pledge that the gratefulness you experience this Thanksgiving will last, not just for one day, but will continue during the holiday season and, indeed, throughout the year. I pray that each of you enjoy Christ’s blessings on this holiday and always. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family!
