We can only be said to be alive in those moments when our hearts are conscious of our treasures. – Thornton Wilder
This week and holiday here in the US is my favorite of all, for it is a time to say thanks. We have so much. We have been given more than we need. Surely it is good to say thank you, to those who walk with us through life, to God who gives us life, to our family and friends who share our lives.
In times of hardship and when we suffer, when life seems senseless or too difficult to bear, it is in these times that thanks says and means so much. No matter what our circumstances, we can give thanks this Thanksgiving.
