As we come into this week of Thanksgiving, let us be reminded that it is a time to reflect on our blessings, extend kindness, and foster deeper connections with one another. I Thessalonians 5:14 tells us to “encourage the disheartened, help the weak, be patient with everyone." How can we do this? "Encourage the disheartened": The holidays can be challenging for those who are struggling emotionally, financially, or spiritually. Thanksgiving calls us to notice and uplift those who feel burdened, offering them a listening ear, words of hope, or acts of generosity. "Help the weak": Whether it’s through volunteering at a food pantry, inviting someone who has no family to join your Thanksgiving table, or simply being present for someone in need, this season invites us to practice compassion and selflessness.  "Be patient with everyone": Family gatherings and holiday preparations can sometimes test our patience. Respond with understanding, appreciating the unique qualities and challenges each person brings. Happy Thanksgiving everyone! Be kind!
