Thanksgiving

Can you believe it is time for the Thanksgiving holiday already? Despite all the craziness

2022 has brought, the year has still flown by.

Of all the holidays we celebrate in America, Thanksgiving is one of my favorites. There is

not all the hoopla about presents and gifts. Instead, we are focused on family and friends.

We are thankful to God for our blessings. We pause for a moment to reflect on what truly

matters: our love for God and love for others.

We come together to share a meal and our fellowship, devotion, and love for one

another. We enjoy delicious food, but more importantly each other. We laugh, joke,

reminiscent, and perhaps shed a tear as we pause to reflect upon our lives.

Thanksgiving gives us an opportunity to reset our priorities and be grateful to our loving

Father and each other. It is my prayer as Thanksgiving begins the start of our holiday

season which concludes with New Year’s Day, may we stay focused on God, family, and

serving others.

May the teaching of Philippian’s 4:6,7 be our guide: “Be anxious for nothing, but in everything

by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to

God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and

minds through Christ Jesus”.



Happy holidays and may God richly bless you and your family,

Brother Travis
