Where Did It Go?

I am sure that you have noticed it over the years. 

Out goes the Halloween trash and in comes the Christmas trimmings. 

The one display of Thanksgiving/Fall decorations and treats are already 50% off on November 1. 

Yes, it has been going on for awhile. 

Thanksgiving ... the forgotten holiday. 

And yet, it used to be relegated to the commercial scene

and I could understand (though not approve) of that. 

Hubby and I were out a week ago and we noticed icicle lights,

Christmas trees, and wreaths adorning the houses around us ...

... 2 weeks before Thanksgiving?!?!

It is absurd and sad to me to miss a holiday focused on being thankful. 

My flesh easily chooses the path of covetousness

and I like and need the reminder to focus on what I have been given.

Society in general has forgotten to be thankful. 

The writer of Romans described the most evil of societies in Romans chapter 1

and it all began with unthankful hearts.

Romans 1:21

Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God,

neither were thankful;

 but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. 

I trust that you are not overlooking this precious time of year.

Happy Thanksgiving, y'all!
