When we are together

I hope and pray everyone had a great Thanksgiving! We shouldn't reserve one day each year to return thanks for all that GOD has done and is doing for us. But, it is really nice that once a year we try to assemble together and collectively remember GOD for all His goodness.

Now, it is unfortunate when families, loved ones, can't get together in peace and harmony for even a few hours. But, that is the case sometimes. I am blessed to see my family, all of them. What we have to keep in mind is that we are each individuals, with our own quirks and our own "issues". We may be having a bad morning prior to the get together. We never know what someone else is going through.

Today's word is a passage from Psalm to remind us about getting together: Psalm 133:1, NIV, reads, "How good and pleasant it is when GOD'S people live together in unity."

It is nice when everyone gets along and there is no moaning, groaning, complaining, griping, etc. It is nice when we can all agree to disagree. However, there are still those times when things are a little askew and emotions are near the surface; that's when the unity is lost. I try to keep in mind, when it is my emotions, that keeping peace and unity for everyone else is the least I can do.

Anyway, again, I pray everyone had a great Thanksgiving. We are entering the time of year that we celebrate the birth of our SAVIOR, the GIFT. I am forever, eternally thankful for GOD loving me enough to accept me into His family. I am thankful for the family that He has blessed me with. I pray that I can always have a good attitude when we are together.

Be Blessed,
