Okay so Thanksgiving is really wonderful! It's the jumping off point to the Christmas season, colors are more grand, and there is fabulous food and deals everywhere!
So exciting!
However I am nagged with the downsides that can catch us all - the temptation of going into debt for wanting to give too much too soon, the guilt of feeling like I'm hurting people every time I cook my pot of mouth watering chit'lins, and postponing things until the last minute reserving my spot in public gridlock.
Tis the season everyone... tis the season. It will be a true blessing that out of all my self-focus, I actually take the time to focus on who and what is more grand... the needs and comforts of others also outside of my own household. And hopefully my children will grow to see through the social misconceptions (presumably for the sake of control and consumption) and will instead learn to nurture the spirit of Christ within themselves through loving, experiencing work and life through His holy Spirit and become fine-tuned in goodness and joy.
... May we all rise above the mediocrity of self and plan with purpose to achieve humility, love, grace, wisdom and peace, to name a few. In the meantime... I need to go and eat some wheat to push any bad cholesterol out of my system from my chit'lins!
