As I sit around the dinner table this Thanksgiving, surrounded by the warmth of my family, I can’t help but reflect on the joy of this season. As we pass the dishes from one to another, there is laughter in the air and smiles all around. My wife, Jackie, and I are joined by our children and our seven wonderful grandchildren—each moment filled with love, gratitude, and the kind of togetherness that makes this holiday so special. I’m sure many of you are experiencing similar moments today gathering with loved ones, enjoying a meal, and sharing the simple happiness that comes with being together. In these moments, we are reminded of what truly matters: the bonds we share with those we love and the memories we create together.

Thanksgiving is a time to give thanks, not just for the blessings we have, but also for the people who make our lives richer and more meaningful. From my family to yours, I want to wish you all a Happy Thanksgiving. May your day be filled with warmth, joy, and the comfort of those you hold dear. Thank you for allowing me the privilege of serving you.
