Happy Thanksgiving!

Monday, 23 Nov, 2009 — by URSM

It is hard to believe that Thanksgiving is this week!  Wow!  There really is a lot to be thankful for, isn’t there?  I hope you have a great Thanksgiving, eat lots of food, and enjoy the time off of school and with your family and friends.

We had an amazing weekend at our Fall Retreat - tons of fun and a great time remembering how much God loves us.  I got home yesterday afternoon, settled in, turned on the TV, and then it started…

The nightmare memories of my disastrous mission at WAY:TOO:EARLY AM last year on black Friday.  The unfortunate flashbacks started happening because they are here - the commercials for this year’s amazing deals.  All you have to do is be there at 3am, and you are SURE to get the deal you’ve been waiting for your whole life.  Of course, you might have to outrun the dedicated mother who has a purse full of bricks and ready to use it if she has to.

Anyway, if you are one who chooses to brave the elements, lines, and more lines this Friday - good luck.

Oh, and here’s a thought for you:  I wonder how many people who will be standing in a line at 4am on Friday morning waiting for the store to open will be late to church on Sunday?

Don’t get me wrong.  I’m not against all the fun madness that happens on black Friday.  I’m just praying that we find an appropriate balance this Advent season.
