So, it is the day after Thanksgiving, and I think we all lost sight of the meaning somewhere around 11:30 last night. Today, "Black Friday", is a holiday killer in my mind. It causes us to forget that we were giving thanks for all the things that we take for granted, and depletes our bank accounts just in time for Christmas. It makes me sad to think that our nation has gotten so caught up in our own consumerism that we have forgotten what these holidays are all about. Christmas was never meant to be a holiday about gifts, and Thanksgiving was never meant to be about a turkey.
For those of us who do not have any money it is easy to stay home on "Black Friday" and wish we had money for all the "incredible sales", but I think it is truly a blessing to be broke. I think that God is using this time in my life to teach me the true meaning of these holidays that I have mistreated in the past. So, lets us remember this holiday season that Christmas is not about gifts, and yesterday was not about turkey. Lets make a point of focusing on God this holiday season.
