The holiday season is always a great time to reset, recharge, and reflect on the year that is coming to an end. Many of us look forward to these weeks to reconnect with family and friends and celebrate the joyous season.

Thanksgiving is one of these events, and this holiday always comes at the perfect time of the year for all Americans – especially those who are in or around the political scene. We have experienced a particularly vicious cycle with national and world events, and non-stop campaigning to secure the White House and control of other governmental jurisdictions. I’m convinced that many of our problems originate or are exasperated by a lack of gratitude. So, with the election behind us, it’s time to stop and give thanks for all we have been given individually and in this country.

For me, I’m thankful for my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. I’m grateful for the faith that has defined, sustained, and guided me through many tumultuous times in my life.

I’m thankful for my family, starting with my husband. He has been such a blessing to me, and I have enjoyed our life together. I’m grateful for my mom, who is still as vibrant as ever in her nineties. Her love and care made........
