From Holiday to Holy Days
It is the day after the national holiday of Thanksgiving. Yes, today is that equally important holiday for many – Black Friday! If you are one of those folks who enjoys Black Friday, congrats! If you are one of those folks who prefers to avoid the crowd, I'm with you on this one!
Over these next weeks we will move into Holy Days. Much of culture will be filled with the sights, the sounds, the magic related to the Christian holy days. It is good to remember that this great land has other equally significant holy days during these next weeks.
We have just celebrated a national holiday that says we are thankful to be in this land. This land is a land that allows liberty for all. I trust that we can respect the Holy practices of each person in this land of diversity, allowing each person the religious liberty to celebrate faith as they desire. May we move gracefully through the Holy days because we are people who embrace the significance of the thanksgiving holiday.
