It was a very good thanksgiving yesterday. We went to my nephew’s house, enjoyed our company, ate some good food, and talked. This was one of those rare occasions where you actually have a meaningful conversation with your family, and they show real understanding about the personal struggles and successes of your life. You also can give them updates about what is going on in your life with a good attitude, and because they care about you, with this new information, this inspires them about the possibilities open to their own futures.
Like any good get together, the conversation and laughter in the beginning was almost raucous. Some people get disturbed by the cacophony of such noises, don’t like crowds, and don’t see themselves included. For me however, I am fine with the haphazard inclusion and isolation, because I like and understand crowds. Also the cacophony from the gathering is from the voices I love, and therefore it is all music to me. I for one; in such a spectacle; could easily see the love in their eyes, and could see in their eyes even a sense of pride to be part of our family.
Yes, thanksgiving is a day that can bring everyone together, confirm that relationships have been restored and strengthened, and restore spirits. It is for these blessings that on thanksgiving, and really everyday, we thank god.
