Happy Thanksgiving! I pray that everyone will have a wonderful day today and that you can spend the day with people you love. I also pray that we all will remember what we should truly be thankful for. When we make that list, or share our thankfulness at the table where is God on that list? First and foremost we all should be thankful for a God who loves us and wants an intimate relationship with each of us. We all should be thankful that He sent us His Son Jesus to suffer and die and rise again for us so that we may enjoy eternal life. We all should be thankful for the Holy Spirit; for his gifts and guidance and his power. We all should be thankful that a young girl said yes to God's will and now today Mary continues to pray for us. We all should be thankful for the gift of the Eucharist; the precious body and blood of Jesus Christ; the ultimate banquet. Of course the word Eucharist means thanksgiving.
It's great to add to the list all our family and friends and the many gifts we have in this life. Just the gift of life itself and the freedom to live in a great country are awesome. But whatever your list may hold; whatever you are truly thankful for; always, always keep God first. For without Him nothing we have is possible but with Him all things are possible!
Happy Thanksgiving 2010!!
I will give thanks to the Lord for he is good; his love is everlasting!!!
