We have achieved a curious feat in our modern world: we've managed to forget the most fundamental aspect of thanksgiving - to whom we are giving it. We remember the turkey but forget the God who made both turkeys and hunger; we remember the feast but forget the Host; we remember to say "thank you" but carefully forget to whom we say it.

In our upside-down world, shadows are counted more substantial than sunlight, and darkness more real than dawn. Yet Christianity offers a startling reversal: a divine madness that transforms the darkest night into the brightest day, where even the deepest shadows bow before the light.
