On this holiday, we have much to give thanks for:
• the promise of eternal life with our savior Jesus Christ. In the meantime, time marches on irregularly – arriving slowly and passing quickly for situations we eagerly anticipate, while coming around often and lasting long for those we would prefer to avoid.
• family and friends to love and be loved.
• health: despite the nicks, bruises, and prescriptions, most of us have a pretty good deal on the physical front.
• resources: similarly, our societal lifestyle is way beyond what we need. Walk up to a big-box store and the door opens for you – not only is this expected; we don’t even notice it anymore.
• Now. Yesterday has slipped away; tomorrow may not come. Right now, what we have is . . . right now.
