Daily Devotion - Thursday, November 25

Thanksgiving Day

It is Drumstick Dash day, if you know what I mean! Many of you probably have a picture of a family feud happening over who gets the drumstick of that wonderful turkey. Hopefully, some of you are picturing the annual Drumstick Dash that Indianapolis has every year on Thanksgiving morning. This run benefits Wheeler Mission, a ministry for people who live on the fringes of society, struggling for food, shelter and clothing.

Every year my wife and I help with the dash – we don't run or even walk, but we have found a way of volunteering that works for us. After we finish with our volunteering we return home and do the final preparations for the festivities. We are privileged to host this year. Can't wait to see if anyone in our gathering dashes for the drumstick! I trust that you will have a meaningful holiday!

Clearly thanksgiving day is a national holiday that comes once a year but quite honestly, I trust that it comes far more frequently as your heart expresses sincere gratitude for the abundant life we are privileged to experience.
