Happy Thanksgiving!
Thanksgiving has arrived. I'm off
from work and, in a bit, on to cooking our family meal (something I
enjoy doing), which we'll share with a number of our children who can
make it today.
A shout out to all those working on Thanksgiving this year: You're probably doing something essential or otherwise important to some or all of us, so special thanks to you. I remember I especially missed being with my family when I worked on a few Thanksgivings, but I also remember especially enjoying Thanksgiving dinner when I arrived home. So if you're working, just keep close to Our Lord and the day will be filled with blessings.
My
list of things for which to be thankful is virtually
endless. I hope yours is too. This year, one of our sons has to work on Thanksgiving, so he'll be coming later. Our daughter-in-law is working too, but she'll be coming earlier for a bit. I'm just grateful they can come at all.
Here, to start this wonderful day, a passage from Colossians I've quoted in the past onThanksgiving. It's worth repeating:
As
therefore you received Christ Jesus the Lord, so live in him, rooted
and built up in him and established in the faith, just as you were
taught, abounding in thanksgiving.
