Hello Wesley,
|
So amazing that Thanksgiving is upon us. I am looking forward to a couple of days with my family eating all the traditional goodies and just hanging out. Thanksgiving has always been my favorite holiday; I think because the expectations are just to hang out. Across the street from my back yard there is a monkey no climb tree. Yes, that is a real thing. It is in full blossom now and quite beautiful.
|
|
|
The tree reminds me of my walks the day after Thanksgiving with my dad and brothers. We often found beautiful plants and animals along the hiking trails in northern New Jersey. This year I am most grateful that my dad made it a point to take us on these hiking trips and always managed to turn it into an adventure.
|
I pray you have family to surround you this year and you are wise enough to create a memory like that for others. It makes me feel good. I want the same for those I love.
|
|
I love being your pastor,
Ernie
