On this Sunday before Thanksgiving, the "Time with Children" included a bagful of things for which I’m grateful. Included were:
- A doll from my childhood as I give thanks for memories and family
- A “Smoky” koozie as I give thanks for all those who help care for us - firefighters, EMT folks, medical personnel, military, and more
- A picture of my husband - oh, how thankful I am for him
- A card from a friend as I give thanks for all the friends in my life
- A reminder of Our Savior’s 125th anniversary as I give thanks for all those of the congregation and for this place to serve and worship (also today I give thanks for the congregation I first served, as well, as they celebrated their 150th anniversary)
- A Bible as I give thanks for the word of God and the stories it includes of how much God loves us all
- A bottle of water as I give thanks for water, food, clothing, shelter - all necessities God provides
- And lastly, some candy, as I give thanks that I can share (each youth received some and smiled)
And there is so much more, but I couldn’t begin to fit it all in the bag. What are you thankful for as we get ready for this Thanksgiving holiday?
Blessings.
