Tomorrow is officially Thanksgiving Day here in the US. Most households will gather with family and friends to have a feast of Thanksgiving, reminiscent of the harvest feasts of days gone by. Certain members of my family call it "National Stuff Your Gullet Day." All in fun of course. Many reasons are given for celebrating, including religious and national ones. There is a lot of talk about what individuals are thankful for, and often the Christian God is given a great deal of the credit for those things.
May I suggest something? Take the time to direct your thanks in person to the real live people in your lives, not to an invisible and undetectable God, and not to the air, which can't hear you either. Use this time to give thanks to those people who usually get taken for granted in your life, big or small.
If you are reading this, I thank you.
