What a wonderful day for reflection. It is a day many of us spend cooking, waiting for someone to finish cooking or eating whatever was cooked. After a remarkable meal, we sit around as a family to talk or to play games. Some may watch the game that is on for the day. It is truly a day for families to get together to reflect and to perhaps even make plans for the next year.

It is often during this time we remember those we lost. We begin to speak of Big Mama’s dressing, Aunt Debbie’s pies and Uncle Sam with his comments. However, we tend to reflect and these warm feelings come over us. Tears may threaten. Hands may tremble. Heads may shake. During these moments we know we have loved and lost.

So as you go on to “Black Friday” sale remember that you are also creating memories that your family will recall. Be mindful that even if you do not get that Blu Ray or Tom Tom, you have a family that will not only remember that you were born and then passed on; they will remember what happened during the dash on your headstone. They will remember the love and joy you shared.

Make everyday a day of thanksgiving. Decide to life each day as you are living this season of goodwill. When negative thoughts provoke you in February remember how you dealt with it in early December. The reflections we have are powerful. They can be a foundation of faith in an awe inspiring Lord.
