If you give pause tomorrow, Thanksgiving, what would you think? I hope our national holiday has some good memories of family, of friends and pleasant times. It may be hard for many this year with the pandemic, and or, loss of job, health, family member or friend. With all those possibilities and others, it will strain your attitude to see positives, to count blessings. However, we, at Evolution ask you to give the day a moment of reflection. Maybe like George Bailey (It's A Wonderful Life), you might say a silent prayer and request? He thought that his request was denied. He didn't know God works in mysterious ways. So, we will also say a prayer for you and our nation. I also want to thank some good, American nuns for the following thought.
Gracious God
I thank you for the gift of life. In these times when blessings are sometimes hard to find, give me the grace to be aware of your loving presence, especially when I am anxious.
Help me to embrace each moment as an opportunity to see your goodness reflected in my life and in your creation.
Keep me safe and healthy in mind and body, and protect my family and friends with your healing touch.
May compassion flow through my grateful heart to others in need. Amen.
Have a good week. Peace.
