Blessings, Grace and Thanksgiving
When we receive blessings for no apparent reason, this is grace. When we give of ourselves for no apparent reason, this too is grace. When we offer kindness and understanding instead of digging in and bitterly proving our way, we invite those blessings that one day we will so desperately need. When we practice “random acts of kindness” or love those who we find it difficult to love, grace finds us.
So on Thanksgiving Day, we are reminded that so much has been given to us–our blessings. So much, as well, has been given to us just because of where we were born. When you think of it, our prosperity was built upon generations of hard work and, sometimes, on the backs of others. But we sometime forget something that prosperity is not what we own, bequeathed or earned. Prosperity is what we give away. We are prosperous when we make more room, say in our wallet, our house and our heart, and give. When we do, we always find that something greater fills that void.
Happy Thanksgiving
