As American Thanksgiving approaches, my heart is filled with gratitude for the many blessings of my life.
I think of those who have no food or shelter at this time and I am grateful for a warm house and a plentiful table.
I think of those who live in the midst of war and violence and I am grateful for peace where I live.
I think of those who are ill and in pain and I am grateful for health and vigour.
I think of those who are full of fear and worry and I am grateful for a soul at rest.
I think of those who cannot see and I am grateful for eyes to see the warm smile of friends.
I think of those who cannot hear and I am grateful for ears that hear the laughter of children.
I think of those who live alone and I am grateful for loving community.
So much to give thanks for and my heart overflows.
