Thanksgiving Day is commonly called turkey day. (That’s sad.) Hoards of hungry people will choose their favorite parts of Butterball birds and stuff themselves with all the Thanksgiving Day fixins. Will you gobble down a drumstick or savor a sumptuous breast?

Who gets the wishbone?

Will wishes come true?

“Wish good for those who do bad things to you. Wish them well and do not curse them (Romans 12:14 NCV).”

Wait a minute; wish well to people who hurt me? That’s a lot to ask!

The Golden Rule never goes out of style. “Do to others what you want them to do to you (Matthew 7:12a NCV).”

Let’s get this straight. I want people to treat me well; so, I should treat them well (regardless of what they have done to me).

I look forward to Thanksgiving Day. I’m thankful to God. He is merciful. The LORD hasn’t given me the wrath I deserve. He is love. When saying grace before the Thanksgiving meal; I will remember that He has given me the grace I don’t deserve.
