Good Morning, God,
What refreshing headlines, for a change, God! For once, it is said that folks around here "behaved responsibly" over the long Thanksgiving weekend and didn't "drink and drive." The law officers didn't have very much to do; they had an easier time of it. More importantly, people weren't hurt or killed because of a bonehead decision!
God, from time immemorial, we humans have enjoyed the "fruit of the vine," either in alcoholic form or in some drug forms. In fact, your word in a Psalm says that you gave us wine to, "gladden the heart." A missionary advised a young minister to "drink a little wine for your stomach." Even some health gurus these days advise having a glass of red wine even each day, for the true medicinal benefits.
Lord God, like everything else in life, wine or beer or other spirits can add to the enjoyment of life. Help us to not push the limits, however, when enough is enough or any at all is too much.
May we always be as responsible as we were this Thanksgiving.
IN Jesus's name, Amen.
