I forgot my phone

 I left my phone at church yesterday. Oh, yesterday was Thanksgiving. 

At Kelsey, we have a Thanksgiving Day worship gathering. I even told the congregation I used to dread it because it kept me from being with my family for the holiday.

Over the years, though, I've come to cherish this time. It's a meaningful way to mark the holy day. But who knows how many people would attend if we did it earlier in the day. :)

When I got to the house, I noticed my phone wasn't in my pocket. I didn't leave it in the car.

I didn't go back to the church, but I could almost see my phone on the stand where I'm sure I left it.

Unfortunately, I didn't get to share my Thanksgiving memes. I didn't get to share my snarky remarks about the football game. I didn't even get to share my family picture to wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving. 

Turns out, the world went on. Our family ate. And we ate some more. We laughed and watched football. Someone even checked the mail--we hadn't gone in several days. The Christmas lights I ordered weeks ago finally came in. We all checked them out together because, at one point, there was a fear I had been scammed. We even played Madden football. I haven't bought a video game in years. I bought Madden yesterday and remembered why. But it was just about worth it.

Maybe I'll stop by the church today to get my phone. 

Maybe I'll get it Saturday when we go to decorate for Christmas. 

Stay blessed...john
