In this special Thanksgiving edition of Here We Are. Now What?, let's look at the meaning of Thanksgiving.
One way to appreciate a word that you've seen and used all your life is to view it in a new way. My former pastor Fr. Doug did that for me some years ago when he took the word Thanksgiving and broke it into pieces: Thanks and Giving.
When he said that, "the scales fell from my eyes," and I was able to re-appreciate the actions embedded in the idea of thanksgiving, namely:
~ that we should be?thankful, and express thanks to those who have done something for us, and
~ that we should?give?abundantly, like there's no tomorrow: give of our time, our treasure, and most importantly our talents
As the day of Thanks and Giving approaches this week, I'm sending a message of gratitude and appreciation for all the angels (you know who you are!) who have been so supportive this year!
Let me send out a shout of "Thanks!" to the following who have supported this newsletter: Catherine Hislop Steve Gillooly Dave Summers ?? Raymond Helfrich ??
