It is a different kind of Thanksgiving for us today. We are observing Thanksgiving alone because we felt it was best for our family during this time of so much COVID. It doesn't feel right but yet it is the right thing to do for us.
I hope that all who gather together will remain safe and healthy. I wish all who aren't getting together with family or friends a peaceful day, filled with gratitude for previous gatherings and anticipation of future times of pleasure.

We will have a turkey and maybe even a pumpkin pie but I'm skipping all the sides for just the two of us. We will enjoy some football games on television and a Zoom gathering with some of the grandchildren.
It will be a day of giving thanks for all that we have: our family, our friends, our faith, our home and food on the table, in the refrigerator, the freezer, and the pantry. We have so much to be thankful for, how can we be sad. We are blessed beyond measure.
"Come, let us sing for joy to the Lord; let us shout aloud to the Rock of our salvation. Let us come before him with thanksgiving and extol him with music and song," (Psalm 95:1-2 NIV).
May God bless your day with gladness and gratitude. May being apart make your thanksgiving more special than ever before. May being together make your heart burst with joy. God bless you all this Thanksgiving!
