Celebrating Thanksgiving by Loving

Thanksgiving is here. Holidays can be extremely tough, as people attempt to cope with losses, covering a wide range, from not being able to afford basic necessities to having trouble dealing with difficult losses. That is not merely something I can fathom or imagine but have experienced on an intimate level. Disappointment, sadness, and betrayal have have been lingering, a most unsolicited extended visitation.

In the midst of this ongoing trial, I have been blessed and loved by people around me.


My hope for Thanksgiving is to love others, to let them know they are truly loved, for who they are. For some, showing love might involve checking in to see how they are doing. For others, some sort act of service, such as cooking and hosting a meal, might be more helpful.

No one should feel alone, insignificant, or unloved.
