Considering how grumbly and disheartened we've been, Thanksgiving Day could not have come at a better time. A good day to remember that in spite of all our struggling, it's not all bad. And that even what is bad is just temporary.
Who can say it better than Sam?:
"Sam saw a white star twinkle for a while. The beauty of it smote his heart, as he looked up out of the forsaken land, and hope returned to him. For like a shaft, clear and cold, the thought pierced him that in the end the Shadow was only a small and passing thing: there was light and high beauty for ever beyond its reach."
-Sam in The Return of the King of course
Give thanks to the Lord for He is good! His love endures forever.
