Good Morning, God,
We wonder which season we are in, Lord God. Oh, we know it is climatically the fall season - we've set bout clocks back, the trees have become bare and the winter wheat is showing its beautiful green in fields where it has been sown.
But, Lord, we are confused as to the holiday season we are in! Already we have has a Christmas Stroll in Huntingburg and a Christmas concert by the Celebration Singers. The Christmas decorations have been in the stores for weeks, and many folks put up their outside decorations last weekend because it was such beautifully warm weather. A major store has jumped the Black Friday gun by putting some popular items on sale starting at 4:00 PM on Thanksgiving Day.
Oh, Lord, we do have Thanksgiving this week, don't we! We almost forget it. We almost forget your admonition that in all things we are to give thanks and gratitude to you. So, Lord, may we put aside all thoughts of the Christmas season this week and especially remember to give you the thanks and praise you deserve for all of our bountiful blessings - at least until all of the turkey is eaten on Thursday!
In Jesus' name, Amen.
