Happy Thanksgiving

In the United States, this coming Thursday, November 27, is Thanksgiving. It is a federal holiday that occurs on the fourth Thursday of each November.

The purpose of the holiday is to formalize the giving of thanks for the bounty which we enjoy. I'm one of those people who always try to live in gratitude, and I express my thanks to my friends, family, and maker regularly. (I also try to express my thanks for them, as well.)

This year we will be joined in our home by the families of two of our three children. All those who can come will come, and we will collectively give thanks to the Lord and enjoy a great meal together. Turkey, stuffing, ham, potatoes, gravy, and cranberry sauce are just the tip of the culinary iceberg. I am looking forward to being with my children and grandchildren who can attend.

I hope that you, likewise, are looking forward to a great Thanksgiving. If you are not in the United States, perhaps you can pause, as well, and reflect on the blessings that you enjoy.

My best to you and yours.

—Allen
