My kids are all here under one roof again...there's bickering, teasing, laughing, arguing...I've had coffee with my parents, helped my mom get the turkey into the oven, and soon my siblings and their families will crowd into the small house with us. We'll eat, laugh some more, argue some more, go for walks, watch football. It's Thanksgiving Day in the USA, and I'm remembering all I have to be grateful for - which is A LOT!
Thanksgiving Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend. Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow.
