JOHN
Good Morning! I’m John Branning, Lead Pastor of Central United Methodist Church. Happy Thanksgiving to everyone this morning.
My middle son Aidan was driving my wife Traci crazy wanting her to fix a pumpkin pie. Every time I turned around he was harassing one of us about that pie. Finally, Traci had everything that she needed and made that pumpkin pie that he wanted so much. Unfortunately, I could tell by his expression on the first bite that it didn’t taste exactly like he thought it would. He forced his piece of pie down and didn’t ask for another. Sometimes the thought of something is better than actually having it.
Thanksgiving is a time for us to be thankful for what we have and not for what we want. We have been blessed with freedom and the love of others even when we don’t have all of our wants. After all, sometimes what we think would be so great doesn’t match up to the reality. Be blessed today and be thankful.
