So, how was your Thanksgiving? We
had a full house this year. Deborah and Stefan and the three girls were here
along with our son Stephen. We did the
traditional feast on Monday and will eat leftovers for a good part of the
week. Thanksgiving was good, and we had
a riot with the grandkids. But it was a
busy weekend, with conducting a funeral on Friday, dealing with a car accident
on Saturday, three services on Sunday, including dedicating our youngest
grand-daughter and the feast on Monday.
In the rush I wonder how much time I really had for giving thanks. And I have much to be thankful for,
especially as I look around at the rest of the world, and I don’t just mean
material blessings. I love my wife and I
love my life and there’s a lot to be said in that statement. Often though I take those things for
granted, or worse, take them as my due.
I’m not going to make promises about how next Thanksgiving weekend will
be less rushed because it won’t be. But
I am going to try really hard through the year to say “thank you” more to my
family, my friends and my God. Have a great week and remember: To see what
is really possible, you will have to attempt the impossible.
