Thanksgiving

Today we gather, we eat, we celebrate, we relax, we eat some more, but many of us miss the Thankful part of the day. We miss what we should be thankful for; and we miss what others are thankful for. Today try to see what you have to be thankful for. Try to see what others are thankful for; like the companionship and warmth of a family gathering; a reprieve from what may be the solitude they live daily. Or simply for a warm meal in a safe environment, things most of us take for granted. Be thankful.  In our recognition of our blessings comes peace of heart.  Peace of heart makes us content and calm.  So,

I leave you with this prayer:

Thank you, Father, for having created us and given us to each other in the human family. Thank you for being with us in all our joys and sorrows, for your comfort in our sadness, your companionship in our loneliness. Thank you for yesterday, today, tomorrow and for the whole of our lives. Thank you for friends, for health and for grace. May we live this and every day conscious of all that has been given to us. Amen.
