Thanksgiving 2020
Happy Thanksgiving 2020! Expressing thanks, gratitude to one another is essential to thriving in life. I am feeling grateful for physical health, wonderful relationships with family, friends, & Jesus, for safety, meaningful work & more. Despite the stresses of 2020: COVID-19 pandemic, economic uncertainty, institutional racism, political traumas and abuses of power, the polarization of our society, I am grateful still.

I pray you will remember all that you have to be grateful for this Thanksgiving. Tell someone what you’re grateful for and why. Strive to remember your blessings and communicate them to those who bless your life with theirs.
