This is the only holiday without a secular twist. This day spotlights a virtue I've been trying to nurture all year with this blog. Gratitude enlarges you, takes you out beyond your own self, and envelops the recipient in honor and appreciation. Those are God things. When we are grateful, we express the heart of the Father for the Son, and the Son for the Father. It is an act of love and selflessness, and perhaps that is the reason a day dedicated to thankfulness can't be hijacked. Unlike Christmas, it was founded in this country, originating from hearts filled with gratitude for God, freedom, and friend.
Thank You, Lord, for this fabulous holiday.
