In whatever circumstances you find yourself today, Jan and I wish you a day in which you can see the way in which God has uniquely blessed your life.
Twenty years ago today, Thanksgiving was forever changed for us when my mother and stepfather died in an auto accident on this day as they were traveling to our home to share Thanksgiving dinner.
The challenges and problems of life do not take a day off on Thanksgiving Day. Illnesses continue, sorrow and sadness still come. People spend the day in hospitals, faithfully caring for loved ones. The continued presence of life’s difficulties does not mean that we are not being blessed by God; the difficulties only make those blessings harder to see through the tears and blur of life. Serendipitously through the eye of faith, the difficulties can also make the blessings sweeter.
With grateful hearts in the midst of life’s challenges, we wish for you a Happy Thanksgiving!
