So, maybe this is just me being over pessimistic, but I was thinking about how "Christian" is Thanksgiving....the holiday, not the action. It is a glorified feast, where you take pride in how much you can hold down. Can anyone say gluttony? Then you lounge around, being overly lazy, which the bible has a lot to say about. The activities range from watching a multi-billion dollar sporting event to indulging in a wholesome movie....which probably isn't all that wholesome if you really wanted to be honest.
I am not some radical fanatic getting all up in arms about how we shouldn't conform to the traditions of this land.....ok so maybe I am. But seriously, I am just a Christian that is critically looking at how we or how I spend my time and my resources. Before you start preparing for your Thanksgiving feasts, take some time to think and to act for those that are less fortunate. Let's show our thankfulness by how we treat people, not by how much we can stuff in our bellies. Hey, maybe if we did, we wouldn't have to complain about gaining weight over the holidays.
