Today, as I prepare for Thanksgiving, I have mixed feelings because it will not resemble a Norman Rockwell Thanksgiving. Someone will be missing from the table. I get trapped in the notion that all has to "feel well" in order for things to "be well" with my soul. My friend, Brenda, beautifully addresses this in her post today.
I invite you to click over to one of my favorite devotional websites (in)courage where my very good friend (who happens to be an awesome writer) is sharing a "must read" post today. She also happens to be a NC gal y'all :)
While you are dishing out the sweet potato casserole this week, I invite you to take time to dish out some sweet grace upon your soul. It may just be the best gift you give yourself.
The coffee is sweet and hot and I welcome you to join me with Brenda Ottinger over at (in)courage.
Also, if you are burned out already with Black Friday, Cyber Monday, and all the commercialism onslaught, I invite you to join me at the Redeemer Christian Foundation, Inc. website. TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 29TH IS GIVING TUESDAY.
Would you prayerfully consider making a donation (any size makes a big difference) before you leave the website?? Donations can be made by check or credit card and tax receipts will be sent out. Will you give, this Christmas, to those whose NEEDS are so much greater than your WANTS???
Let's fashion this Christmas after the greatest gift that was given to us...
May you be blessed this Thanksgiving and always...
