Thanks-thinking

When I pray and when I think, I tend to labor over what is wrong, what needs to be fixed. These are the black specks on the blank piece of white paper. I focus on what’s wrong with other people and especially what’s wrong with me, and, of course, what’s wrong with the world.

That makes for a long, heavy list.

But there are some things that are right.

It’s a healing exercise to look for these reasons for gratitude and it brings balance to our lives. Lastly, it is a great privilege to celebrate what is right, beautiful, truthful, joyous, and loving, and be a part of it, on this Thanksgiving Day and every day.
