Yes, it is a time for giving thanks. I hope that each of you have a great day remembering what God has done for you in days gone by, as well as for our nation. While everything may not be as we would like it, there is still so much for which to be grateful.
Here are some of the things I am thankful for:
- My family has been apart of American history for 300 years and many things have changed for the better. Can you imagine if we still had the same laws and practices we had 300 years ago…or even 100 years ago? I still am a part of my family's life and I get to spend the holiday with them.
- I have great neighbors who are loving and supportive and with whom I have lots in common.
- I have a diverse group of friends that give me hope for the future of the human race.
- I am Baptist. Baptist have up until recently always stood for Separation of Church and State, as well as Religious Freedom. I am happy to be a part of a welcoming and affirming church that I enjoy being a part of and which still holds to these principles and seeks justice in our world.
- I also have a roof over my head and food on my table, even if it's not what I want all the time.
- I have a job…even if circumstances could be better.
I want to wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving!!!
