Holidays

Well it's the holiday season.  It really dosen't feel like it.  Thanksgiving was a very good day and all, but I have been thinking (never a good sign).  Why do we celebrate Thanksgiving by over eating?  I know, I know, traditions.  I mean, most of us spend over a hundred dollars on a big meal for one day (I am not forgetting leftovers).  If half of America sent the money we spend on food for only that day to help feed others, we could possibly feed millons for a week.  I think I might do that one year....Also it is almost time for Christmas and then New Years, where has the year gone?!  It has gone by too fast. Which reminds me of a Francesca Battistelli song, "Don't Miss It."  The song states:  Don't try so hard to move past the moment, these days go by and there gone before you know it...This is life don't miss it.  Why do we try to rush things?  God is in control and every thing is going to happen in his time anyways!  I think we should remember that.  :-)
