Thanksgiving Message
November 27, 2013
One of my favorite family traditions is Thanksgiving. My
memories as a young boy was when “over the river and through the woods to
grandmother’s house we go” was a reality. We had the horses and the sled and
I’ve experienced the trek to grandmother’s house in that fashion. Fond
memories of those days accompanied our family and friends getting together for
those festive occasions.
I guess that I have prepared this short note to
all of my family and friends tonight (the night before the BIG day). Could
I just feel anew those feelings of years gone by? My mind is full and running
over with gratitude. I give thanks to God for the past year. My choice
blessings include each of you within my large circle of friends and
family.
Tomorrow I wish for you as you gather
around your kitchen table a time of peace, a time of love for all those who
gather with you. May it be a time that sadness can be dismissed for a moment,
and all your thoughts can be directed to our God who made this possible.
