If for no other reason, Thanksgiving is a great holiday because (at least) once a year we remember to be thankful for what we have, what we’ve had, and even for what we don’t have.
While we give thanks to God for blessings we have gotten this past year in our prayers and in our hearts, let us not forget that part of being thankful too, is giving.
What better way to give thanks our Creator for what we have than to share our blessings with those who don’t.
And what’s better, it doesn’t take much: a hand, a dollar, a smile, a can of food, a prayer, a poem, a picture, a letter, a word of encouragement,_________,_________,__________...(fill in the blank)
Don’t forget, either, to enjoy what God has given you. We don’t need to feel guilty, we don’t need to feel undeserving.
Those feelings do not help anyone.
If we share, play fair, take our turn, participate and not be part of the problem, we’ll find those feelings vanish.
Blessings, really, truly are what we give to others – pass one on.
Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
