As part of our Thanksgiving prayer, it might help to make a mental list (or use paper...even more startling) of all the "gifts" we receive daily and rarely acknowledge as gifts: sight, hearing, etc...the people who love us, whom we love...the events that have made us who we are and brought us to this day. Lots of food for thanks, not to mention the special foods which will appear on our Thanksgiving Table.
Last night people braved the snow and sleet to deliver Thanksgiving turkeys and baskets to families in need. It was shocking to some of the deliverers to discover that some families had only a table in their empty apartments. Do we ever think to give thanks for our furniture, our beds?
Let us pause and make this truly a day of Thanksgiving.
