Hi, this is Lily Dehoia Sanderson, and you're listening to Choosing Glory.

Thank you for joining me today.

Really appreciate all of you who listen to podcasts.

Thank you for sharing it with others.

Thanks, especially to the Patreon subscribers who keep this podcast going.

It has been essential to have that support,

and I am incredibly grateful for your willingness to do that.

More content is coming soon.

It's been a little hiatus, thanks for your patience,

but I have quite a few things that will be posted this month.

So I hope you all had a nice Thanksgiving, whatever the circumstances of your lives.

I hope that you were able to enjoy that day. I know that that's an American holiday. I hope

it's exported in one way or another to many of you, whether it's a different day of the calendar or whether you just decide to designate Sunday or some other day as a day for the family to gather and express thanks. And I hope that it is a holiday of thanks. You know, it was always Chris's favorite holiday, and not that he didn't love Christmas,

but he particularly loved Thanksgiving because there wasn't the commercial hype around it that has become such a feature of Christmas.

And it was a family day and it was a time together.

We always did the traditional go around the table and say what you're thankful for.

I always had to have a big pile of napkins with me when it was my turn

because it always evoked a lot of emotion as I expressed gratitude in my heart for

the gospel of Jesus Christ, for my Savior Jesus Christ,

for my family, for Chris, for all the myriad of blessings. I tried not to take too long.

Anyway, I hope we express thanks, always, not just one day a year.

I want to take a minute on some current events,
