So Abram said to Lot, “Let’s not have any quarreling between you and me, or between your herders and mine, for we are close relatives. Is not the whole land before you? Let’s part company. If you go to the left, I’ll go to the right; if you go to the right, I’ll go to the left.
‭‭Genesis‬ ‭13‬:‭8‬-‭9‬ ‭NIV‬‬

Thanksgiving. Where family gathers around the table for a lovely meal and an argument.

The holidays reconnect us with friends and relatives of all persuasions. While we are different, we share an inescapable bond of blood and treasured experiences you can never unfriend even if you try.

Not every different choice, perspective or point of view is worth a fight. You’re better than that.

Give thanks for the table set before you and the provision of people around it you can call family and friends in a world where so many are alone and without.

You are all invited guests at the Lord’s feast. Be exceedingly grateful for what you share, not disturbed with what you don’t.

Anger and argument can’t peacefully coexist within hearts that are truly thankful.
