Happy Thanksgiving!!! 2020 Style
1 Thessalonians 5:18 Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.
COVID 19 and the year 2020 are included in all circumstances. So Give Thanks!!!
Thanksgiving is a uniquely American holiday. This will be a Thanksgiving unlike any other.
For the record, I am a medical professional of 27 years. I have treated COVID-19 patients. I utilize CDC precautions every day providing care to fellow citizens.
Politicians and medical professionals are calling on citizens to use precautions during this holiday and every day.
Some politicians are even willing to arrest and fine citizens who disobey their edicts! They want the police to drive through neighborhoods and ticket families and groups of people who do not comply.
Eat outside, no more than 4 people, no singing, no more than 2 hours, social distance, wear a mask, and on and on and on…
However, the state of California is going to allow people to go to the bathroom during Thanksgiving with conditions.
“Gatherings that occur outdoors are significantly safer than indoor gatherings. All gatherings must be held outside. Attendees may go inside to use restrooms as long as the restrooms are frequently sanitized.” California Governor Gavin Newsom and the California Department of Public Health (CDPH)
This is a permission slip to hold Thanksgiving with family and friends. It is called the U.S. Constitution.
Below is a link to the U.S. Constitution. Encourage children to read it. Lord knows they are not being taught this in their education.

I would also encourage everyone to read the Bill of Rights. Pay special attention to the First Amendment.
Amendment I
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

Respect the thoughts and opinions of others. This Thanksgiving is an opportunity for balance and common sense to prevail. It does not have to be one way or the other, polar extremes.
We are still a free country. And with freedom comes responsibility. Freedom does not mean we are free from the consequences of our choices.
Ephesians 5:20 …giving thanks always and for everything to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ…
