This reminds me of the Jew’s “wave offering” to the Lord. I like the idea that our relationships and time spent together are a pleasing sacrifice to God.

Our Thanksgiving was awesome. we opended up our house for our whole family…and that’s a huge family on the side of my wife…

it was great to just eat and be merry…

I think the important thing was to be just that…Present…

no texting…

My Thanksgiving weekend was good. Had lots of food, a great time with family and meeting my sister’s soon to be in-laws, and spent lots of time with the wife. Couldn’t have been better.

Well… I suppose if it was a longer weekend then it could have been better.

As an introvert, I often shy away from these encounters–I quickly dodge down the next aisle if I see someone I know in the grocery store. But thinking of them as encouraging relationship ripples is a great reminder that we’re meant for community and connections.

Gen 2:18….The LORD God said, “It is not good for man to be alone….”
