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!
