A poem written to honor the upcoming 1st anniversary
of the homegoing of my sweet mom:
I have sat here, wondering what to write...it's Thanksgiving... a time to be thankful.
In church we talked about being thankful and our Pastor mentioned things that were going on in the world and how life is pretty tough for lots of people...we can choose look at the poor economy, the war in Iraq, the elections, and the impact and divisions it made in America...
Some have had a loss in their family,the loss of a job, a home foreclosure, a divorce, illness, etc.whatever it may be, it could be a hard thing for some to feel 'thankful'.
As I sat and listened to Pastor Don I was reminded of the goodness that there is in life. We can't focus simply on what is wrong in our lives, or the discomfort we may feel when things aren't how they "ought to be", it's all about finding the goodness in life!. Finding hope, finding peace, finding love, finding that in all things it is so important to keep our eyes on Him. God is there to help guide us, to nurture us, to give us strength, we are so thankful, there are so many blessings in life. So, our hope is that Thanksgiving becomes a season, and not just a day. Try and think of things through out each day that you can be grateful for... our liberty, our freedom, family, friends.
Whatever it may be, we hope God touches your life and blesses you with His love and grace and extends His mercy on you.
With thankful hearts,
