One Day at a time means Thanksgiving comes before Christmas!!

Have you gone absolutely crazy yet?!?! I think I have!

Scripture says to worry not about tomorrow, for it will have worries of its own. We should take each day as it comes and enjoy what that day has to offer. So, why is it that Christmas is everywhere and we haven’t even celebrated Thanksgiving?!?! If we are to take one day at a time … shouldn’t we celebrate one holiday at a time!

Thanksgiving is a time of giving thanks … of reflecting on what we have, where we are and those that are important in our lives. I believe it deserves our attention before we begin the mad rush to Christmas … which is a topic of another discussion in itself!

We have so much to be thankful for. But … you say, ‘Michele, you don’t know what I have on my plate.’ You are correct … I don’t know. But I do know that you have plenty to be thankful for. You have a Lord and Savior that loves you. He loves you so much that he suffered a painful death on the cross because He loves you and wanted to be sure that you have a home in Heaven.

I know families that have lost loved ones this year … have lost jobs … have lost their homes. My prayers go out to you every day. On this day … this Thanksgiving week … take a moment to think about those things that keep you going … those people in your life that make you smile. Even though there are a ton of things to do and a million things on your mind - s l o w d o w n !! Enjoy this time - enjoy this day – enjoy the folks in your life. Enjoy some turkey and a nap. Enjoy the game. But most importantly, enjoy time thanking God for all of the people, things and memories that you have to be thankful for!

Have a wonderful and safe Thanksgiving!!
