As I end this month of Thanksgiving stories, I wanted to share something a little different today. It is a poem that I found here: Thanksgiving Poems, Wishes, Sayings: Celebrate Blessings
Enjoy....
After the Turkey Is Gone
After the turkey is gone, what then?
Will we keep in mind the blessings
for which we claimed to be thankful?
Or will we allow the chaos of everyday life,
real and imagined problems,
to intrude into the contentment
we felt on Thanksgiving Day.
The cranberries, the stuffing and pie a dim memory,
will we focus on trivial irritations,
or will we hold on to what's really important,
the deep, satisfying, good things we have
instead of what we imagine we want
but haven't got.
After the turkey is gone,
cling to the blessings;
remember what makes life worth living;
continue thanks giving.

Indeed. Even through these uncertain times, let us be concerned over what our future holds for us, but at the same time, remember the blessings that God has already given us.
I pray that your Thanksgiving table held lots of laughs and wonderful memories with your families and friends. I will be back on December 3rd with my next post. May God bless you!
