As we all take time to celebrate with friends and family, I took a moment to capture some thoughts in a poem.

A Time of Thanksgiving

It only comes once a year, a time to stop and see

All the things around you that fills your heart with glee

Like loved ones who come by to share all that is dear

To sample turkey, peach cobbler, pecan pie, oh the words we love to hear

It’s also a time for games and watching sports on TV

Or kicking back, relaxing and taking time to just “Be”

Or reflecting on all that the Lord has done and being grateful for his love

And remembering his amazing grace that continues to come from above

But no matter what you do, try to love from the heart

Because on this day and any day, that’s when the real fun starts!

Have a blessed day,
