So next week many of us will be sitting around tables buzzing with chatter, crowded with food and plates that are heaped. We will be sharing all the things that we are thankful for, the things we have been "given." But maybe we have gotten it all wrong. Maybe we should be giving if we have things to be thankful for that have been given to us. You may need to read that previous sentence a few times. I'm not saying to not be thankful, you absolutely should be thankful for the things you have been given. Each and every single one of us has so much to give, but we don't even realize it. It may be a smile, time, a helping hand, a listening ear, a hug, a dollar or two, a note, a friendly conversation, and the list goes on. Any time we give of ourselves to other, we are sharing the light of God. I shared with the youth how I hate when you see an TV show where someone promises to come home, or promises they'll be safe because those are not promises we can keep for sure. But I love that I can promise that the light will always pierce the darkness. So give, give, and give some more and darkness will be overcome by His light.
