The phrase, ‘Happy Thanksgiving,’ brings a mixture of memories and emotions to many people. To some, it is a day filled with a seemingly boundless array of food, family, friends, laughter and joy. To others, it is a day of service and giving to those in need. And then there are those, whose day is filled with sadness, loneliness and regret.
The reality of our world is that everyone will experience both days of great joy and days of great sorrow. It’s part of the free will that God gave us. The key to that free will, is to remember the importance of how we react on those days and whether we use them as opportunities for Grace.
I am very strong in my faith and believe that my God is a God of love. So for all my friends and followers, I’m sending out a prayer to you today, from 1 Thessalonians 5:18.
‘Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.’
