This Thanksgiving, Remember…

This Thanksgiving, remember:

You are a beloved child of God.

You do not owe your great-aunt Mildred an explanation for your life choices.

You get to eat as much or as little as you like–and allow others to do the same…without comment.

The number of children you choose to have (or not have) is no one’s business but yours.

Your value is not determined by how you measure up to the achievements of others.

This is only one of 365 days in the year that we should be grateful for the love and grace and abundance in our lives.

You are a beloved child of God…and so is everyone else gathered at your table.

Blessings and peace to all,

Anne
