Today we are given the opportunity to focus on what appears to be a lost art these days and that is the art of being thankful. We are asked to take a brief moment to look beyond our own needs and wants and to recognize the blessings in our lives which surround us everyday, keeping in mind that even the hardships we face in life are never faced alone as we know that God is always offering to strengthen, counsel and console us. This day which is, for a great number of us, a time when we try our utmost to forgo that last bite that makes our stomach feel just a little too full, is also an opportunity to seek out those in need and ,in an act of christian charity, try to ease their burden at least on this day. May we embrace this brief time on earth and faithfully serve our fellow travelers and truly spread the message of the Gospel to each person we meet, leading as many people as we can into the kingdom of God.
Peace be with you and yours this wondrous day,
And may Almighty God bless you, in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.
Amen
