I’m doing an early post this week so I’m not posting on Thanksgiving morning.
Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
Ordinarily I’m pretty boogery about decorating for Christmas before Thanksgiving, but this year is different. The year 2020 needs some good news, so we’ve already got some decorations up, even before Turkey Day. (This includes a “Thanksgiving Tree” that’s dressed with colorful Thanksgiving-themed decorations.)
For a lot of folks, the 2020 version of Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years probably looks a little abnormal. There are probably a lot of curtailed or scaled back celebrations.
Even so, don’t let that stop you from being thankful to our Lord, Jesus Christ, who gave the ultimate sacrifice on our behalf. This has been an unquestionably difficult year, not just here in the United States, but around the world. Praise the Lord for the blessings you’ve been given and for the things that have been entrusted to you.
On my end, I’m thankful that you’re reading this. I have a lot of crazy stories, along with what I believe to be some good Christian insight, but I’m not the most extroverted guy, so I’m thankful I’ve found a venue by which to share some thoughts that hopefully encourage you to move toward living a life that’s full of the power of the Holy Spirit…the life God intended for you to live. You might be a regular reader of DareGreatlyNow posts, or this could be the first and only post you’ll ever read from this site. Whatever the case, I’m grateful you’ve chosen to dedicate a few minutes to reading this, and I thank you for it.
Our world is hurting, and it needs hope. Christ is that hope, but you’re the one carrying the message. You are uniquely equipped to glorify God, and I urge you to use your interests, talents, and resources to do it in a way that is uniquely you, and at the same time wholly God-honoring.
This Thanksgiving, may the Lord be praised, and may you celebrate God’s blessings in your life!
thankful for you, Tim, and your desire to share. I read everyone of your posts — I always get something from them. Bless you and your family brother!
Happy Thanksgiving, Tim! Keep writing!
Tim – keep writing. You usually hit very close to the mark for me, and I hope you know what you do is making a difference.
Happy Thanksgiving 🦃 to you and your family Tim. Erik is the same about waiting to decorate after Thanksgiving….but we feel the same way you just described, and started decorating this weekend too!
