Thanksgiving is the hardest holiday for me. I've had some wonderful Thanksgivings, but I've also spent previous Thanksgiving Days in the hospital, homeless, hungry, displaced, hurting, and alone. I get scared and anti-social near this time, anticipating the memories and sadness.
I've decided to spend this holiday alone - not to mope, but to remember. This Thanksgiving I wanted to offer something. Tomorrow I am going to fast and pray for the homeless, the displaced, the neglected, the lonely, the bewildered and the hungry. I'm also going to pray for healed marriages and families. I'm really looking forward to what a sweet time it will be!!!
If you've offered me your hospitality this year, thank you so much - I love you!!! If you read this and need prayer, I would love to hear from you! This is all I really have to offer - with my gratitude to a Savior who has seen fit to keep me alive and who always looks at me with eyes filled with so much grace.
