Open the door of many homes today and you will be embraced with the aroma of turkey, stuffing, green beans, and pie. People will gather around tables, pull out extra tables, arrange pumpkins and turn on TV to watch parades and football. Family far and near gets in their car or van, put the pies in the back seat and head to someone’s home.
Tomorrow will be a time when some people, far too many, who will look into their refrigerator and not see the many trimmings of a great feast. It may be a day of fish sticks or bean soup. The decorations may be something much simpler and inexpensive,
Today is a day when many will be caught up in the feast, digging through the papers for Friday’s sales, Turkey, pie, cranberries, cake, vegetables, rolls, sales, four am openings, five am openings, six am openings, football, parades, floats, etc…
On this day, let us remember the reason of our thanks. Enjoy what you have, be thankful, be grateful for the many blessings within each day. A heart of thanksgiving is a beautiful thing. Have a Happy Thanksgiving, and be full of the choice to be thankful each and every day.
