Thanksgiving is gone

The official day of Thanksgiving has come with a little fanfare (mostly at places where food is sold!). What if every day were a day of giving thanks:

• for the anxiety that sometimes finds us, because it reminds us that we are human, and something needs our attention
• for the annoying neighbor or relative, without whom we wouldn't be able to practice forgiveness
• for illness that keeps us humble, asking for assistance from total strangers
• for the rain, in the midst of drought, either spiritual or temporal

Today practice giving thanks for something that perks up your complacency and shows you a new face of God.
