Thanksgiving and Families

Well, Thanksgiving week is here. For most, it will mean spending time with our families. And isn't that appropriate? Because, of all the things we have to be thankful for, family is the best. Sometimes. Because, while there are many, if not most who enjoy the time they will spend with their families, there are also those who are dreading their time with their family. I don't want to talk about the reasons for that. Rather, I want to encourage each of us to decide that this holiday season we are going to do the things that build family rather than destroy it. I know it can be hard to break old habits. But I can tell you from personal experience that, having admitted that there are things about your life and habits you would like to change, God's power is always there to do just that. Regardless of how bad our family experiences may have been in the past, they can begin to get better this year. Not very deep, but maybe a good idea.
