"For the Christian, every day is Thanksgiving Day." — Billy Graham
Consider the word "Thanksgiving", and invariably images of family gatherings come to mind. Such gatherings with turkey dinners, pumpkin pies, fall decorations, football, and tryptophan grogginess are all too common in American homes. This may be what Thanksgiving has become but it is not the purpose of Thanksgiving. |

John the Baptist's reference to the dove has become a symbol of the Holy Spirit. We see the dove imprinted in stained glass windows in church buildings and we see pictures and paintings of doves in Christian literature and art.
The dove is a very shy bird—a wild bird. You cannot get close to a dove without it flying away. The dove is gentle, loving, and peaceful. It barely makes a sound—only a soft and sweet "coo, coo." You probably won't find a dove where there are lots of people or lots of traffic. You will more likely see a dove in a park where there are trees or outside of town. |
