Thanksgiving is coming up fast… and then
it’s Christmas! It’s time that everyone is running around; finding presents, making
plans, cleaning for family and has way more to do then they humanly can in one
day! As we go around at lightning speed this holiday session let’s remember the
meaning behind them. We’ll
start with Thanksgiving!
Thanksgiving was a celebration between
the English men and the Indians to give thanks for a good harvest. For that day
they were able to find peace. J
There’s so much that God has given us to be grateful for. Last night as I
finished the dishes I remembered a poem my mother had on a plaque in our
kitchen:
I’m thankful for dirty dishes,
They have a tale to tale,
While others may go hungry,
I’m eating very well,
I’ve got food and friends and family,
So I won’t make a fuse,
Yes, this stack of dirty dishes shows God’s
been good to us.
At the start of this holiday session I am grateful for
dirty dishes. They remind me
that I have a great life full of food, friends and family J
What would you
like to thank God for today?
