As I write this brief greeting to all of you, my JCC family, we are finishing an unusual day of Thanksgiving. We were fortunate enough to have our children from Seattle join us today for a fun thanksgiving dinner outside on the deck, along with a slight drizzle of rain half-way through our meal. While our table and food were a bit dampened, our spirits were not.
We wish to all of our JCC family a happy Thanksgiving, even as we know that this pandemic has brought much worry, anxiety, and hardship for many. I offer this brief sentence that I read in a devotional this morning for your consideration:
An attitude of
CONTENTMENT
turns everything into a
Gift!
May we be reminded this Thanksgiving of the great gift of eternal life through Jesus, our Lord!
