As we ease into the Thanksgiving holiday this year, some people wonder if Thanksgiving is still relevant. Modern communication networks put us on the scene of every chaotic event in every state and country – and the chaos that is seen throughout the world spreads sorrow with it….sorrow that tends to cling to our emotions and ask, “Where was God?” But, times like that can actually strengthen, rather than hinder our faith and our hope in God.
