Oh give thanks to the Lord, for he is good, for his steadfast love endures forever! – Psalm 107.1
Today, I hope you get to focus on what really matters . No, not the football games this weekend, (go Buckeyes!).
No, not the black friday deals (did you see walmart is selling a 70″ tv?)
And, no, not the food being served at the table (I made some awesome oreo cheesecakes for today).
I am talking about the family and friends around you. They are the ones that you will remember, years from now. These are the memories you will be thankful for.
It’s better than football, it’s better than shopping, it’s even better than the pumpkin pie.
Because when we leave this earth, when we move on past where we are, all that other stuff doesnt matter one bit.
What matters is the love we take with us, and the love we share with others.
Make today more than just a checklist with family – invest in the ones around you. Have meaningful conversations. Don’t rush out without giving each other a hug.
Make memories today, that you can be thankful for tomorrow. Facebook can wait. Be present with the ones around you, and give thanks.
