Tomorrow is a day for giving thanks. People gather around tables with family and friends, eat turkey and enjoy each other's company. Many clergy really enjoy Thanksgiving because, unlike Easter and Christmas, it doesn't come in the midst of a really big season and doesn't inherently demand a Worship Service. Some churches do have them and that's great. I'm going to enjoy the holiday. What is extra special, for me, is that our church youth group, which I run, is making dinner in the Soup Kitchen on Saturday. A good way of giving thanks is to give service and we have that opportunity.
It is easy to overlook the importance of giving thanks. We live in a culture where people disagree politically, theologically, and almost in every other possible way. Often in our blogging we get into debates, sometimes heated, about the wide range of topics that many have a passion for.
I give thanks for all. To me it is wonderful that we are blessed with so many perspectives and have the freedom not only to have, but to express those perspectives.
