We're hosting a Thanksgiving dinner for family and friends. It's time to pause, to reflect and count our blessings.
Thank you, God, that I have a job and even though it's put a crimp in the budget, I can afford to entertain. Not lavishly, by any means, but everyone will have enough to eat.
Sing praise to the Lord that none of us have to travel by air this holiday season. No porno scanning, no sexual molestation disguised as a "pat-down". Our get-together is powered by the automobile.
Some of my guests will give thanks to the Almighty for inventing Thanksgiving Day football. Will the Dallas Cowboys continue on their road to recovery under a new coach? Of course I'll time the dinner around the game. Always seeing to the needs of the invitees.
There are so many things that I want, but career goals are on hold for the long weekend.
As for shopping on Friday, there's no need for me to plot strategy or plan ahead.
Thank God for the independent bookstore, where Sue is always ready with recommendations for all ages and interests. Her cluttered shop is truly a blessing.
