Now that Thanksgiving has come and gone, and I slowly recover from my turkey hangover from celebrating two Thanksgiving feasts, I am able to take a few minutes to reflect upon this wonderful weekend.
This was a weekend filled with family. I had the opportunity to spend this holiday with both sides of the family: my side and my wife’s side. Although some people dread the holidays because of family, I actually look forward to spending time with both sides of the family.
The saying goes that one cannot choose their family. Family is truly a blessing, and a gift from God. I am so thankful for the gift of my entire family and for what each member brings to the mix. Every individual brings their own gifts to the family, which makes the family unit complete. That is what makes this family thing so great. Without one of the members, the family is not complete. Each person is needed to make the family whole.
God loves us so much that he gave us a family who will love us no matter what. This is a great reason to thank the Lord for the gift of family – not only during the holidays, but always!!!
