Thanksgiving is....
The one time of year that I most look forward to. It is the one time of year that I get to be with my whole immediate family. It is the one time of year that we celebrate all of our crazy traditions. It is the one time of year that I am forced to remember to be thankful. It is the one time of year when we get to enjoy the fall colors in Door County. It is the one time of year when I am most inspired to reflect.
Thanksgiving is...
To some only the day before "Black Friday" shopping. Or their final day of waiting until they can put their Christmas tree up. Or an excuse to stuff themselves with turkey, watch some football, and take a nap.
To me--Thanksgiving is family.
Because, outside of Christ who is my salvation, and my husband (who is family anyways...) my family is what I am most thankful for.
We have far too much to be thankful for to get caught up in or overwhelmed by fear, envy, strife, sorrow, sin, discontent, selfishness, materialism, hate, racism, ungodliness, the pursuit of pleasure, grumbling, conceit, or pride.
We have far too much to not live a life characterized by thankfulness.
