Thanks For Giving

It all started with the Pilgrims and the American Indians. They broke bread to resolve their differences and work towards a better life..together. This Thanksgiving let us remember that we are all good as individuals..but we are better together. So as we celebrate this Thanksgiving..in the company of those we choose to share this Holiday with..let us remember..that being together as friends ..as family ..it doesn't have to be a Holiday..to spend time together. Time is a precious gift..given straight to us from Our Father. It's the time we spend together..the little tiny moments..that give us a reason for going on. Her smile in a crowded room. His eyes from across the table. His cackling laughter from the next room..that makes you laugh...Your eyes, when you get it.. Screams of Victory! our team is winning. The touch of her hand to let you know..it's going to be alright..that's why we celebrate. For times like that. Soft moments..and hilarious laughter. It's hard to have those times with anyone one else except your Family and FRIENDS. So Pray with your friends & Pray with your family as you break bread..Pray that you will always have each other on Thanksgiving. It is TIME to be thankful and grateful..for those warm moments..and memories. I beg you this Holiday..let Uncle know-it-all's comments roll off your back..and LET your Mom's nagging put a smile on your face. Let your Sister slide..when she says something stupid ...and have empathy for long stories by Grandma. Please..please Enjoy your FAMILY and Friends. Be grateful..open your heart..and LOVE all despite their faults. I say this as a FRIEND, as a Wife,,as a daughter and as a Sister. If you hear anything I've said hear this one little thing: SPEND TIME ...soon their will be less at your table. Food for Thought. Let's say it together...Amen.
