As we pause from the "seeming routineness" of all things to celebrate a day of Thanksgiving, may we do so with tenderness and gratitude for what truly matters in our lives; that we might praise the Giver of life and all gifts therein. Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays as we are blessed to enjoy wonderful food and tender moments with family. Even so, and most importantly we are opportune to pause and view our lives with a refined lens of perspective. In spite of the pressing societal demands and commotion that abounds, we stop, take a breath and consider all that is that matters; and with grateful hearts, we render that which is all that we have to render, our heartfelt will, to Him. He who has given us all things. This is a time of harvest and thankfulness for the bounty in our lives, but equally important, it is also a time of planting in our hearts a tenderness and resolve to live with greater purpose and heartfelt appreciation and gratitude to our loving Heavenly Father for His tender mercies. May we be content with our allotment from our loving Father in Heaven, that we might know joy in the seasons of our lives, expressing always gratitude to Him and to all with whom we associate.
May the joy of Thanksgiving extend beyond the day and into our tomorrows, always!
Happy Thanksgiving to All!
We are off on holiday and may, if internet is available, post while enjoying our journey these next two weeks. If not, we will post upon our return.
