Thanksgiving
"I will praise you, my God, and bless your name forever and ever.
Every day I will bless you and praise your name forever and ever.
Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised; God's greatness is unsearchable."
Psalm 145: 1-3
It is Thanksgiving Day and some of you are offering your gifts of care giving to people who need special attention, your special touch. Bless you.
In the book Tuesdays with Morrie. Mitch Albom writes about the time he talked with Morrie about the perfect day. Morrie, facing his death, described his perfect day as a day spent with family and friends, a day with a walk in the park, a nice Italian dinner, a night of dancing and finally a deep, wonderful sleep. "It was so simple. So average. I was actually a little disappointed," Mitch writes.
For Morrie, it was a perfect day. Maybe this won't be a "perfect" Thanksgiving, but it can be a meaningful one. Take time, as give of yourself to those around you, and give God thanks for what is happening at that very moment. If you do, you may discover some new realities about what makes a day "perfect."
Thank you for the work you do today. Thanks be to God for your work.
