Thanksgiving a Time for Reflection
Haiku for Thanksgiving
I am grateful that I have the money to prepare food. I love to cook and I love my family. I am looking forward to having Thanksgiving again this year at our house. I am saddened by all of the losses that we have had this year and the year isn't even over yet. I am grateful though for all those that we have in our lives. I am anticipating Christmas and our Christmas program this year at church. We are doing a Christmas Cantada with another church. It is very difficult but rewarding.
We are doing a lot of volunteer work and helping those who have less than we do. This year has been easier for us financially and we are empathetic with those who are struggling. There is always someone who needs more than we do. We are teaching our son to reach out and help others too. It also helps to not dwell on your own losses and pain when you help others.
God bless you all and I hope you all have a blessed Thanksgiving and Christmas.
Treat this day gently,
Quietly reflect on those,
We are thankful for.
