A Thanksgiving message from Florida about forgiveness and gratitude. The speaker frames the holiday as non-denominational and encourages pausing to recognize what you're grateful for and that your needs are being met right now.
Good morning, everyone. Your moment of yes for today. Happy Thanksgiving all the way from Florida. Happy Thanksgiving. And I have to say, we're— it's a cool day for us. I think it's high 40s right now, maybe creeping up a little bit. So yeah, we're feeling it. Not quite what others are feeling, but we're feeling it. Happy Thanksgiving, everyone. For the last week, we were doing the countdown to Thanksgiving. Well, we are embracing the idea of forgiveness all leading up to today, which is obviously a great day of gratitude. And Thanksgiving is nice because it's actually one of those— it's a holiday, it's obviously a non-denominational holiday that for the most part has actually maintained its integrity as far as it's a day all about equality, about expressing just that quality of gratitude and appreciation. And so no matter, you know, what you have going on in your life, if you're able to take today, if you're not getting called into work for Black Friday, which is now Black Thursday, that's a whole different story. But if you're able to take some time of reflection today, whether it's just with family or by yourself or in nature or at a church service or whatever it is, just to stop and pause and think about no matter what is going on in your life, no matter what struggles, challenges, obstacles are going on, or what has happened in the past year, what is happening right now, if you can actually pause right now here in this moment and just feel that right now in this moment there's so much to be grateful for because you can, because you can be. And you can just pause and just say, whatever else is going on right now, I am okay and I am surrounded My needs are met. I'm surrounded by love. I have my needs met right here, right now. And just think if we did that every day. But aren't we grateful that we still have one day where we can do that? So much love to all of you family out there that I'm not with today, which is most of you guys. Happy Thanksgiving. I love you guys. Friends, stalkers, all you guys. I love you all. Happy Thanksgiving. That's your moment of yes for today.
