Today is the day most Americans set aside to reflect on — and give thanks for — the many graces and gifts that bless our lives. For some, the day began with early-morning shopping before gathering with family and friends. That particular holiday tradition has never appealed to me, though I’ll admit I often take advantage of a good cigar sale online this time of year.
As for me, I’m thankful for my wonderful and loving family, for the freedom to worship as I choose, for true friends, for a roof over my head and food on the table, for this great country, and for so much more. These are things I’m grateful for every day, not just on the fourth Thursday of November. To be truly thankful is to stay aware of our blessings daily. I’ll also be praying for the protection of those freedoms and blessings as they continue to face persistent threats, both foreign and domestic.
Let’s also keep in mind the selfless Americans who are separated from their loved ones while serving to defend our freedoms.
Wishing everyone a safe and peaceful day.
Cheers!
