I am so grateful to live in a nation that understands the power of giving thanks. A day when all Americans in this tensely divided time, no matter what creed, color, or proclivities, are united in thankfulness, bonhomie, and, usually, feasting.
I have always believed that one of the reasons that America is great is because of this day set apart for giving thanks.
So thank you Lord for my family and friends. Thank you for the opportunities you have put before me, the adventures you have given me, and the usually self-inflicted disasters you have rescued me from. But most of all thank you for your unfailing, all-encompassing love. With all my heart - thank you.
Happy Thanksgiving everyone! Whether you wil be surrounded by loved ones, or on your own wrapped in memories, may it be surprisingly delightful and love filled.
Amen
