Savor the Sacred Gathering

 

Don’t let the good stuff go unsaid.

Here’s why: Next year, your Thanksgiving may look completely different and there might not be as many chairs.

Loved ones get sick.

Loved ones get old.

Loved ones move away.

So, this year savor the sacred gathering. Share. Forgive, Remember. Beacause you can’t see the changes and surprises ahead.

But you have this time.

But you have these people.

But you have this day.

Say the thing your heart feels.

Say the things their heart needs.

Say the thing their heart needs.

Because Thanksgiving is here. And we’ll never have another one like it ..

Again.

That is a beautiful statement of what should be. It was for me. There is satisfaction in the husband, children, and home. I was able to be blessed with all three. This is my world and I am proud that I am a part of it. Yes, the neighbor across the way received Thanksgiving supper and leftovers to keep her for the week. A loved one that could not be at our table but loved nevertheless. This year, I have learned that family is not blood but those who love to be with you.

This year, I have learned gratitude. For my fortitude. For my perseverance. For my care. For truth revealed. For courage exposed. For strength displayed.
