I just read a twitter post, "If you want to be great, be grateful." Well, actually it was like this: If u want 2 b great b grateful.
What an excellent phrase to be thinking about before Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving is a time to give thanks for all of the blessings in our lives.
Eucharist means thanksgiving. We should always remember to give thanks when we receive the Blessed Sacrament in Eucharist. Give thanks for the gift of Jesus Christ that saves us from our sins. Give thanks for the man-God, born of a humble virgin, that came to be among us - Emmanuel - God with us.
Be thankful for family, food, friends, warmth, love, companionship - and so many other things.
No matter what our situation may be, we can find gifts from God and for those gifts, we should be thankful. Even if it just the air we breathe, we all have some thing to be thankful for.
God Bless us this Thanksgiving and thank you for all of our blessings. AMEN
