Will Thanksgiving suck like a turkey baster?!

If you are following the news, it doesn’t look like there’s much to be thankful for this Thanksgiving: The deadly Israeli-Hamas war. Attacks and protests against the Jewish people. Housing and rental costs soaring. United States’ politics in disarray. And some experts are predicting another deadly round of COVID-19. Yep, all these things suck like a turkey baster!

But this doesn’t mean we can’t still be grateful! Here are some reasons to give genuine thanks this month:

Thanks for nothing
Little is known of the prophet Habakkuk. except that he lived in the time when Israel was oppressed and many had been taken captive by the Babylonians. There was little reason to give thanks. But, in spite of living in captivity and facing what appears to be a famine, Habakkuk writes, “Yet, I will rejoice in the Lord!”
