I wish for all of you a great and HAPPY thanksgiving day. I do realize that for many of us the holiday season can be extremely difficult especially for those of us who have lost loved ones- spouses, children, parents. The pain for some is still very piercing, as this may be the first, second or third holiday without our precious loved ones.
However, let us make the best of today and:
Give God thanks for those that are still with us and for a chance to still let them know how thankful we are for them.
Give God thanks for a place that you can call home, where you are sheltered from the cold and wind.
Give God thanks that He woke you up this morning and that you are in your right mind.
Give God thanks for the food that He has provided for you today, whether in your own kitchen or in someone else’s kitchen.
Give God thanks for all the leftovers you will have for days and the creative ways that He will allow you to use up your left over.
Give thanks that He keeps His word and the spirits of your loved ones are secured in His arms until He returns when you will all be united once more.
In His Service,
Vilma
