Thanksgiving is tomorrow. The turkey is happily brining away, the table is set, the menu is planned, folks are bringing things to contribute to the feast. It's going to be a good day.
I have so much to be thankful for, and not just on Thanksgiving Day. My family is loving and close. My husband and I have successfully navigated the sometimes tumultuous waters of marriage for a really long time. It isn't always easy, but it's worth it.
As I sit here writing to you, I am imagining a tomorrow that's full of love and laughter. That's relaxed and fun. A house packed with happy people who are, let's face it, eating way, way too much. Conversations that include the lighthearted and the serious. And hearts that are thankful for God's many blessings.
Because that's what Thanksgiving is all about. It's a day about introspection as well as turkey. My heart is overflowing with thoughts of the goodness of God, His mercies, His tenderness, His protection, and His provision. He is good. He is good all the time. Happy Thanksgiving, everyone. Remember to give thanks, because it isn't thanks if you don't give it [Kudos to Pastor Jerry for that one!].
