I love that so many people are posting the things for which
they are thankful. They are counting
their blessings, paying attention to what is most important, creating an
environment of giving and receiving in one of the most intimate ways. I know that it is a November kind of a thing,
but I really hope that the 30-days-to-a-habit helps them to continue their
gratitude journals in some form or another.
And yes, being thankful for a bowl of ice cream with cashews and
chocolate sauce counts!
Dear Holy One, so many people have so many things to be
thankful for. You are the provider of
all things, and it is to you we give thanks.
Keep us mindful, as we list our thanksgivings, of those who are in need:
for those in the Philippines
and those who wait for word from their loved ones, for the homeless, for the
hungry, for the trafficked, for the sick, the friendless and the needy. Help us to give where we can in ways that
glorify your Holy Name. Amen.
