This Thanksgiving I’m having a hard time figuring out how I feel. I know how I’m “supposed” to feel, but honestly I don’t feel very thankful. Rather, sad and little bit angry. I think of Thanksgiving last year, and I guess the thing that I’m thankful for this year is that last year is over. I never want to relive last year.
But as I was verbally processing all these thoughts this morning, my husband said something that showed me once again why I married him.
“It’s not about what we’re thankful for as much as Who we’re thankful to.”
Suddenly I realized that when I focus my thanksgiving on people, traditions, food, material blessings … all of those things are temporary. So if, or more accurately, when I lose them, I also lose my source of thanks.
There is only one thing in existence that is not temporary. So it makes sense to me that I should focus my thanksgiving on that one thing that I will never lose.
Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.
