A Time to Cherish,

Reflect, and Act with

Purpose

By Belinda Jane Keehn

As the warmth of Thanksgiving draws near, it

serves as a powerful reminder to pause and truly

appreciate what matters most in life: the people

we love, the time we spend together, and the

bonds we share. In a world that often feels chaotic

and uncertain, taking a moment to reflect on the

simple joys—laughter with loved ones, a home-

cooked meal, and meaningful conversations—

grounds us in gratitude.

Thanksgiving isn't just about the feast; it's about

the moments we create around the table, the

connections we strengthen, and the love we pass

between generations. It’s the only holiday of the

year that isn’t about gift-giving, but about ‘giving

thanks.’ It’s about being thankful not only for what

we have but for the opportunity to share it.

Whether it's a small gesture, like passing a dish to

someone who’s been quietly listening, or an open

conversation that lets someone know they are

seen and valued—these moments are precious.

In this season of gratitude, it’s important to reflect on

how we can give back. While we enjoy our time with

loved ones, there are millions around the world

struggling to survive: families torn apart by war,

children suffering in poverty, and countless people

enduring the horrors of slave labor and abuse. These

struggles may seem distant, but our voices and

actions can reach them. Now, more than ever, it's

crucial to stand up for what matters—to be advocates

for justice, compassion, and human dignity.

For those of us fortunate enough to have a seat at the

table, let’s extend that spirit of generosity beyond

our own circles. Whether it’s contributing to a local

food drive, donating to charities that support

vulnerable communities, or simply offering a helping

hand to a neighbor in need, every act of kindness

makes a difference.
