Abounding in Thanksgiving

Early this week, I held the treasure of certain memories of my childhood with my dearest, late parents and my younger siblings. Most particularly, it was the remembrance of our family’s attendance at the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day parade in my hometown of New York.

Surely, I most adored this family tradition. Ofttimes, we attended the spectacular parade before gathering for a Thanksgiving feast with our extended family. Oh, how marvelous it was!

In the Gospels, Christ encouraged the unity of family, and even delighted in fellowship on an occasion with His, beloved, mother, Mary. Might you imagine our Blessed Master celebrating with His family and Disciples?

I might say, it also appeareth Christ’ most appreciated feasting and He might even appear in dreams as a blessed Chef. Ofttimes, in Scripture, we read of our most wise, King of Glory intimate teachings wherefore He fed the multitude with miraculous provision. Perhaps, we may be most encouraged in reading passages in the Scriptures of thy Lord delighting in fellowship with His spiritual family; whom seemingly were dearest to our Holy Father’s Heart.

And so, as we prepare our tables to feast this Thanksgiving, might we be sure to invite our Blessed Master to be in the midst. And in the spirit of this season may we continueth to abound in thanksgiving, walking in unity, forgiveness, gratitude and love.
