Today as we give thanks to God and our nation celebrates Thanksgiving Day may we remember those who have gone before us, those who are with us now and those who will come after us. Enjoy the turkey and all the fixings but enjoy those loved ones with whom you share this day, in particular God.
In a way we are like the Tin Man in The Wizard of Oz searching for a heart, the heart that God originally created for us, then sin enter the world and we became disorientated. In The Wizard of Oz the Tin Man sought a heart, Jesus came to restore our heart to its’ proper cosmic direction – God.
and place a new spirit within you,
taking from your bodies your stony hearts
and giving you natural hearts.
I will put my spirit within you
and make you live by my statutes,
careful to observe my decrees.
You shall live in the land I gave your
fathers;
you shall be my people,
and I will be your God.” [Ezekiel 36:24-28]
Ezekiel’s prophecy anticipated the Messiah’s call to reorient our hearts and place God’s will first and foremost in our life.
May God Be Praised and your day be Blessed.
