Years ago, I memorized Colossians, chapter 3. It’s a rich chapter that speaks to so many parts of my Christian journey. I especially like what Paul wrote in verse 15. “And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in one body. And be thankful” (Col. 3:15, ESV).

I recognize it isn’t a cheery time for everyone, but I love Thanksgiving. I relish all the seasonal food and family time, not to mention once it’s over, I get to stop hiding my decorations and finally dust off my Christmas playlists!
