Love on Thanksgiving
Love endures long, boring stories retold year after year. Love doesn’t begrudge relatives with recent promotions, nicer cars, and better-behaved children. It doesn’t compare pumpkin pie recipes in a search for accolades.
Love doesn’t create humor at others' expense or laugh when demeaning jokes are told. Love maintains self-control even when someone else stole the last drop of gravy. Love remains even when someone’s actions make them appear unlovable.
Love stands up for one another and refuses to catch a ride on the gossip wheel. Love sees the best in others despite their mistakes and encourages them to try again. When everything else fails, love remains.
Of course, love without truth is not really love at all, but truth without love is deadly.

Life always feels more joyful, more manageable, when we approach our days with a thankful heart. In Christ, we always have reason for praise.
