Thanksgiving Fears
November 27, 2024
Are you dreading Thanksgiving in some corners of your soul? You remember relatives you wish to see who will chose not to join you. That relationship has been fractured. It may be permanent. You imagine all the ideal gatherings of others.
A family member or close friend has gone on to Heaven, another empty spot for sure. A different kind of pain. Celebration days remind us of that.
I am familiar with both of those and can offer a simple suggestion. Be grateful for small things, any person with whom you can share the day. I can promise that if you begin to write that list, God will step in and show you things you took for granted before.
He reminded me that the greatest Thanksgiving feast ever will be in Heaven.
