New Theme: Thanksgiving and Gratitude
Welcome to the new theme of Thanksgiving and Gratitude for the months of October and November. We are excited to share with you posts of spiritual practices, stories and moments of gratefulness and thankfulness, reflections from scripture, reviews of books or podcasts relating to gratitude, and much more! This theme was inspired by the season of Thanksgiving that comes each year around Canadian and American Thanksgiving, so we are delighted to keep with this theme throughout the next few months as we journey into Celtic Advent and Advent in November/December. Don’t miss the exciting retreat opportunity that Lilly Lewin and I are planning in November to kick off the season of Advent (see details below!)
