Today we are “Thankful,” for the opportunity to share time with family and friends.
For those of you who are sports fans and struggle with the thought of missing time away from the TV set during Thanksgiving dinner; stop for a minute and ask yourself how many of those football players would come to the hospital to visit you if you were ill? Which player would babysit for you in an emergency? Which one of them would support you if you lost your job and could not support your family?
You get the idea…the people you will be spending Thanksgiving with are most likely those people. Be present and willing to give your time to them; uninterrupted and grateful time.
The football games are what they are, and will be there after dinner. Your family and friends will be excited that they are your first priority, over football!
You are fortunate to have family. You are fortunate to have family and friends that care about you. Don’t take them for granted.
Plan to record the part of the game you may miss, and connect with those who care about you! You won’t get another chance to make that dinner the special event it is! “Now, let’s get going!” xo Sally
