Wow today is Thanksgiving "eve" so to speak. I have my turkey thawing and my bread staling. I thank the Lord for this holiday and the time it gives me to simply thank Him for all He has done in my life and the lives of my loved ones. It has been a long year to reflect with soooo many answered prayers and blessings. I am forever thankful and grateful and if I repeat that alot, I apologize but if you only knew what a difference a year makes. Just so in awe of God and all He has done for me. I am truly filled with pure gratitude and pure contentment and THAT is a gift in itself. So many people suffer from depression during the holidays and so many people dislike this time of year for an array of reasons and I truly understand for I was there. I love the holidays but I would be untruthful if I said they have all been pure love and joy because they haven't been. So if you are hurting or sad or lonely, I understand. Please seek God and simply ask Him for a sense of purpose and peace this holiday season and He will grant you. Make your sorrows known to God and ask Him to grant you joy and happiness and He can and He will. I know it sounds trite and it may sound easier said than done but we have all been there. We have all been in a place of darkness and sadness to the point where you want to just stay in bed and sleep it all away. But the problem is that until you do something about it, the sadness and dark hole will be waiting for you when you wake up. It needs to be healed and removed from your life. So I encourage you to make that step into the light. Make your petition known to Him and I promise you, I promise you, He will help you find your peace again. Happy happy Thanksgiving!
