THANKSGIVING
Today's reading: Ecclesiastes 9-10

"...A quiet spirit can overcome even great mistakes." Ecclesiastes 10:4 NLT

Be the one at your Thanksgiving table to choose love over hate, forgiveness over harboring, peace over strife and appreciation over remembering mistakes.

Choose not to sit in a sulled up manner. Opt not to allow your feelings to be hurt by every thing that is said or occurs. Participate. Fellowship. Enjoy.

Be patient.

Be loving.

Be kind.

Be thankful, above all else.

O God, when I have food,
help me to remember the hungry;
When I have work,
help me to remember the jobless;
When I have a home,
help me to remember those who have no home at all;
When I am without pain,
help me to remember those who suffer,
And remembering,
help me to destroy my complacency;
bestir my compassion,
and be concerned enough to help;
By word and deed,
those who cry out for what we take for granted.
Amen.              -Samuel Pugh
