Happy Thanksgiving! As we cook, bless the food, and enjoy the day off, it is a joyous time of reflections. Oh yes … Thanksgiving is more than a day of the huge feast – turkey, ham, dressing, cakes, and pies. Though the delectable food is yummy to our tummies! It’s more than a day of parades and countless football games. It is a day to be thankful – thankful for life, loved ones, family, friends, blessings, and the amenities of living! Recognized as one of the busiest travel times, traditionally, many people travel near and far to be with and share time with people that they love. Kindred spirits are the order of the day. However, this year, because of the coronavirus, we are encouraged to stay home and celebrate the day with our immediate family. However we gather, we must keep in mind that the holidays can be a lonely time for some! Let's share our fortunes of love, kindness, and resources with others even if it’s virtual. Let not our love be selfish and superficial; ignoring the needs of others. Turning our heads should not be an option. Let our love be overflowing like a cornucopia. I am sure that the recipients of our generosity will be thankful! For certain, we would have left them better than we found them! That feeling should fill our souls as much as the Thanksgiving meal filled our tummies!
P.S. As we treasure the memories of our loved ones who no longer walk this earth, we are immensely thankful for the loving Imprints that they left behind. They and all of the lessons that they taught us remain in our hearts forever and a day!
