SABRINA
Here we are - Thanksgiving week. Many of us, we are in panic mode, but still a certain excitement is in the air as we approach the holiday season. Let us be keenly aware, however, that many look to these days with sorrow and dread.
Things have changed since last year. Family who gathered around last year are no longer with you. Your marriage may have ended, financial burdens overwhelm your daily thoughts.
My personal holidays have changed. My parents are no longer with us and with that, extended family does not come together as often. There are memories of holidays past. But we now have 7 beautiful grandchildren...a glimpse of the future.
While this week we celebrate a NATIONAL holiday, as Christians we are keenly aware of the many things God has given to us. God has given us family, friends, memories, futures - no matter what your political preference, your denominational affiliation - we are a blessed people. We are each a part of God’s perfect plan. We are a part of God’s future - as surely as Noah and Abraham. And we have been blessed to be a blessing to others. Let us ALL give thanks!
