A great presentation to draw our focus to what we sometimes take for granted when we should be offering thanksgiving to the One who provides.
Arriving late allows me the opportunity eavesdrop on some posts and thereby nudge my memory of Thanksgivings past, first as a child, then an adolescent. Next comes Thanksgiving dinners - US Navy style, followed by beginning traditions with our own family. The cycle never ends. As a child, it meant Thanksgiving dinner with grandparents, aunts, Mom and Dad and siblings gathered around the big oak dining room table with the littleones seated in the childrens section. Family nests began to grow smaller, parents became grandparents. Some moved to new locations to start their own traditions, but it is always a time for family to gather together. How lucky mrsdd and I are to experience those family get-togethers multiple time throughout the year. Closing, giving thanks for family, friends, our troops, country and a loving God who gave us His Son.
