Woo-hoo! Thanksgiving is here!  It’s so exciting to think about all the friends and family gathering together and also terrifying.  What does the Lord have for us in these life-long relationships that can be so messy at times?

And if they are an invitation, how in the world are we supposed to get there?  Other great Thanksgiving articles you might enjoy listening to while you prepare your Thanksgiving feast:  Invitation to Holy Hospitality What is the Lord Whispering to You This Thanksgiving?
