I was just reminded of the following annual sequence:

Thanksgiving -> Advent -> Christmas -> New Year

It’s been a crazy year, and 2021 gives no hint of immediate improvement; however, 2020 is going to end the way all years do. Let’s just continue to be thankful people!

Oh give thanks to the LORD, for he is good; for his steadfast love endures forever! (1 Chronicles 16.34, ESV)

In everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you. (1 Thessalonians 5.18, NKJV)

Thanks be to God for his indescribable gift! (2 Corinthians 9.15, NIV)
