The Thanksgiving frenzy is over and I must say that I feel deflated. For a pastor, holidays and holy days, which usually occur simultaniously, can be exhausting. Like business owners and retailers, the holidays are no vacation for clergy. In fact, they are just the opposite. Holidays mean more holy days, extra church activities, extra time and extra expense. There is, however, a benefit to all of this - family. Holidays mean the opportunity to see family and remember the things that are really important in your life. This is a spiritual event for me.
So, before I hit the daily grind again I want to stop and thank God for family, for holidays, and of course, for holy days that bring us all together.
