A reflection on God's goodness based on His character instead of circumstances:
My favorite national holiday is Thanksgiving. It brings family and friends together around a table laden with food. The fact that my wife is an excellent cook makes it all the more enjoyable.
Thanksgiving has a fourth F, though—faith. It is an inherently theological holiday. Thanks is always given to someone, after all.
While we are grateful for the farmers who raised the turkeys we are eating, the grocers who sold them, and the cooks who prepared them, Thanksgiving is not about the supply chain that put food on our tables. Nor is it about the people around those tables. My father died earlier this year. His loss makes me especially grateful for family still here. Even so, gratitude moves past the human to the divine.
