Despite the troubles and economic turmoil that seem to surround us, let us remember to still be thankful. I know how hard it is to find some good in a world that has turned its back on God. A world that seems satisfied looking for hate, anger and unhappiness. We are about to enter a season not only to be thankful but to celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ. Instead, we find that commercialism and political arguments are the themes of the day! If it’s not about money; it’s about politics. If it’s not about catastrophes or disasters; it’s about strife and wars. Get the picture? You don’t hear about good news as much as you hear about bad news. Another piece to this abstract is celebrating Thanksgiving without our loved ones. For whatever the reason, the people we once loved are no longer with us and the tradition of doing things together has ended. We should be thankful even for the time we did spend with them. We should be thankful for the memories we shared. We should be thankful because we were blessed for the love we had for them. Holidays aren’t as easy to deal with as we grow older but we have so much wisdom now to make our own lives more understanding. God bless you, my friends. May your days be peaceful and prosperous and your nights peaceful and restful. Enjoy your holidays.
We often look for excuses when things don’t go our way, shifting the blame onto others instead of taking responsibility for our own choices. But excuses only grow stronger the more we feed them. This same pattern shows up when it comes to doing what’s right—we stay silent, waiting for someone else to step forward, rather than holding ourselves accountable. “What’s your excuse now?” is a challenge to stop hiding behind hesitation and a sense of true comfort in our own skin.
