Walking into our home you will be greeted by the smells of homemade bread resting on the stove, dressing cooking in the oven, pumpkin pie on the counter, and homemade vegetable soup. Our dining room table is prepared for ten guests.
We are here. Other family members are in Indiana, Ohio, Mississippi, Florida, and Missouri. Away from most of them, we will celebrate with family and friends. While the day could be consumed with the cleaning and preparation for the meal, I don't want to miss the joy of being with people that make this day special.
Today will be the first day that some loved ones will miss someone at the Thanksgiving table. I pray that God will comfort them. In other circumstances, some families are embracing this day as it may be one of the last holiday that they will experience together this side of heaven. Whatever circumstances we encounter today, God is available to us.
