A keepsake is a small item you hold onto in honor of the person who once owned it. Keepsakes
can be new or old, seem unique or generic, and have great worth or no financial value at all –
either way, their true value lies in what they signify to you. This November, while we prepare to
celebrate Thanksgiving, we are going to spend some time with our keepsakes to remember all
the things we have to be thankful for from the past as we walk into God’s future.
