I couldn’t think of a more fitting image for today’s Inkling than the oft reproduced photograph-turned-oil painting Grace by Rhoda Nyberg. One of my childhood friends had this very painting hanging in his dining room. Every time I went to his house I saw it and never gave it much thought. There are so many things that I have in my life that I’m thankful for, but many days, like that painting, I don’t really think much about it. Thanksgiving Day, to me, is a reminder to be appreciative of just how fortunate and blessed I am. So, before enjoying that bountiful Thanksgiving feast with family today, I plan to take a moment to thank God for the abundance of blessings in my life.

Ungrateful Pilgrim
“The potatoes are lumpy, the turkey’s like shoe leather, the gravy’s cold, I found a hair in my cranberries and, I’m sorry, I don’t see what’s so fabulous about maize. First Thanksgiving?! This will be my last!”
