Thanksgiving


The Thanksgiving holiday is upon us. And we are called to be grateful. Each of us. Grateful for the blessings in our lives.

I am more grateful to God than ever before. Sometimes it takes a little hell to be thankful for heaven. The little hell might be physical pain or emotional pain or financial pain or spiritual pain. Might be depression or bankruptcy.

But hopefully the little bit of hell ends as the night gives way to dawn. And in the dawn, facing the rising sun, we offer  to God prayers of gratitude for the passing of the night and the rebirth of hope.
