Thanksgiving the Way it Should Be

I know that Thanksgiving was last Thursday, but since I was out of the office and never got on the internet at my cousin’s house I didn’t get to write this until now. I was in Ohio over the holiday spending time with my family, some of whom I had not seen for a while. Thursday morning my dad and I went to Westlake Bible Fellowship’s Thanksgiving morning brunch. Boy was it good! But I have to say that the highlight of that morning or the day really was not the food, as good as it was. It was the time after the food where some 150 believers sat in a giant circle and shared what they were thankful to God for and capping it off with singing some hymns. I have never had a better Thanksgiving morning in my short life and I think that one is going to be pretty hard to beat. Even though the time of reflection and praise was short, about 30 minutes, it just put the whole day in perspective. This is the true meaning of Thanksgiving. I think that is very important with the holiday season coming in very full swing (23 more shopping days til Christmas) that we keep the right focus of what these holidays are meant for. Glorifying God. I hope that you had a good Thanksgiving and I pray that all of us will keep in mind the reason for the season.
