Your Thanksgiving Reminder: You Are Seen, Loved, and Not Alone

This year has been an emotional rollercoaster for so many. The world feels heavy, and it may take time before life feels like “politics as usual” again. In these challenging moments, I am reminded of the powerful words in Ephesians 6:13: “Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day…”

As the days grow colder and the holiday season begins, I pray that your spirit is filled with peace and joy. Yet, I recognize that this season can bring mixed emotions. For some, it’s a time of celebration and connection, while for others, it may bring anxiety or grief.

Let us lead with kindness and grace this season so that everyone feels Gods love not just now, but all year long. If you find yourself navigating feelings of isolation or loss, please know that you are not alone. I encourage you to connect with a local support group or a therapeutic confidant who can offer a listening ear and a comforting presence.

No matter where this message finds you, I hope it serves as a reminder that you are seen, loved, and part of a community that cares deeply for you. Together, let’s spread compassion and light to those around us, making this season a little brighter for everyone.
