The Last Thanksgiving?

What do people remember about you last Thanksgiving. Were you the one in the kitchen doing all of the dishes? Were you the one keeping the children active and happy? Were you the one willing to do what ever the host or hostess asked you to do to be helpful? Were you kind in all your conversations? Did you compliment or complain? Were you inclusive in all conversation and recognize anyone left out? We all remember that Billy did all the dishes. We all remember that he played with the children. We also remember that he never complained and loved the be outside frying the turkey. We have stories of him sticking the meat thermometer through his hand and just calmly washing his hand and putting an ice pack on it. We were freaking out but not him. What I experienced from early that morning was that he was always available to me to do unexpected errands. "Billy, would you get 2 more card tables from Hayley's house? Billy, will you go to the store for whipping cream oh and some more rolls? Billy, will you change the tables and put this one by the door?" He would do all these things and more and never complain. He really knew what it was like to be on a team. I was the team captain on these holidays. There were other times when he was the team captain and he would give the orders. (Like, packing the car for vacations) Please read the chapter from his book on Team Work ,p.38-39. We all need to realize that our words and actions give a lasting impression and we are seen from an eternal prespective. Gatherings, no matter who is there or what difficulties arise, are an opportunity to walk in love and demonstrate that Christ is in your heart.
