All tagged Thanksgiving
Like many of your families, we have an extravagant meal do the whole routine of “Let’s go around the table and everyone share something they are thankful for.” We resolve to be more thankful throughout the year. And we do the same thing the next year. So how do we live in thanksgiving in between holiday celebrations?
One idea to reach the community is through outreach events, or “bridge events.” These events are designed to invite neighbors, colleagues, and community members, giving them a chance to come through our doors. The fall and winter seasons are great times to plan some of these events.
No matter what feelings the holidays bring up for you, I pray you have a moment where time stands still, and the love of heaven descends upon you.
Don't live in the past. It is easy to do as we get older. Live for today. What a gift each day is. Be excited about tomorrow. I am a long way from being through.
A Grateful Haiku:
Gratitude unties
resentment’s tangle leaving
fresh eyes for God’s gifts.
While many of us in the U.S. celebrate Thanksgiving this week with loved ones and abundant food, may we also pause to express thanks for the bounty.
I have this old sweatshirt that I’ve had since eighth grade. And I wonder, if this sweatshirt could talk, what would it tell me about my life and myself?
Lord, there’s no question, life has been hard this fall;
and too few words spoken, too many days – just finish.
