Thankful for Relationship
This Thanksgiving I’m in Tulsa, Oklahoma. I’m spending time with Alyson’s family.
I hardly get to see them. At best, it seems like I see her family for about 10 days a year. None of us are excited about that. All of us wish it could be more, but that is just how it is. Life has a funny way of catching up with me and keeping me so busy that I just find it hard to get away.
It’s been good to take time to get away.
Since I’ve been here, I’ve worked less, and rested more. Thought less about stuff I should be doing, and more about the wonderful relationships I’m making and growing.
Today, as I continue to reflect on Thanksgiving, I’m thankful for the time to mend, begin, and develop relationships.
Proverbs 18:1 says, “Whoever isolates himself seeks his own desire; he breaks out against all sound judgment.”
So far this Thanksgiving season, I’ve worked to mend a relationship, begin a relationship, and develop relationships. And to be completely blunt, I feel so much more thankful this season as I’ve done this. I’ve realized that through relationships I truly am able to see and feel the love of my Heavenly Father.
Prayer: Thank you God for loving me through other people, especially Your Son Whom died on the cross for my sins, so I can have relationship with You, In Jesus Name, Amen.
