The Day After

   Yesterday was Thanksgiving; for what were you thankful?  We gather each year, visit with friends and family, eat too much food and perhaps drink too much as well. But did we take time to give thanks for all we have?  Did we acknowledge God and praise Him for the many blessings in our life?

   Did we take the time to remember those who are no longer with us and give thanks for the joy they brought to our lives?  Did we perhaps mend fences with those we may find difficult, replacing estrangement with love?

   Many did not have a table full of food, some weren't able to be among friends and loved ones.  If we were among the those whose day was full of laughter, love and food we should take the time to express our gratitude to our Heavenly Father.

   We celebrate this day each year and it is good to take a day to give thanks.  Hopefully we remembered to thank our Lord who makes it all possible.

Father, you bless us in so many ways.

Be with us as we gather.

Help us to recognize Your great love.

We give You thanks for our many blessings

Amen
