Often at this time of year, we put a lot of emphasis on Christmas. As merchants compete for our attention, we start becoming preoccupied with putting up the lights, trimming the tree, buying presents, and so on.
Thanksgiving also calls us to constancy, for the journey to harvest will usually be harder than we think, longer than we expect, and more rewarding than we can ever imagine.
That’s why I love the Thanksgiving Season. It is an opportunity for us to press the “pause” button and catch our breath. As we pause, we can take time to reflect on where we are and how we got here. We can stop and remember that we are blessed beyond measure, and that too often we take those blessings for granted.
Believe it or not, not everyone is looking forward to Thanksgiving. My mother-in-law was in the Department of Motor Vehicles the other day and she overheard someone say they wished they had to work on Thanksgiving so they could avoid having to spend time with their in-laws.
