This year the Thanksgiving Holiday is going to be different for Bob and me. We have almost always had our children and grandchildren together on this one day. That won’t happen this year. Both sons will be spending the holiday in other places, one in Nevada, the other in California.
We will, however, have our daughter and her family with us. Rather than cooking, we are talking about going out for dinner. I can honestly say I can’t remember ever spending thanksgiving in a restaurant! I may have, I just can’t recollect it.
Change is a fact of life. We want things to remain the same, to always hold to the same family traditions, but that isn’t always possible. Many times, we must make new family traditions.
David makes a promise in Psalm 9 that the LORD reigns forever, that He has established His throne, that the LORD is our refuge and stronghold, and that He has never (nor never will) forsake those who seek Him. [vs 7-10]
The Thanksgiving Holiday may be different for me this year, but the things for which I am thankful have not changed. Father, thank you that …
“Those who know your name will trust in you, for you, LORD, have never forsaken those who seek you.” [vs 10]
