Time To Be Truly Thankful


As we gather with friends and family, take leave from jobs, worship freely and enjoy abundant food, take time this week to be truly thankful, remembering this simple but powerful advice from Eckhart von Hochheim, otherwise known as Meister Eckhart, a German theologian, philosopher and mystic:  "If the only prayer you said in your whole life was, 'thank you,' that would suffice."

Did you know that if you make $50,000 per year, you're not quite a Bill Gates or a Warren Buffet, but you are doing better than 99 percent of the 6.7 billion people in the world?

As Americans, we gather every year to celebrate Thanksgiving. But what do we really know about the holiday? Was it a yearly tradition from the time the Pligrims and Indians had their infamous feast? Well, as it is taught, Thanksgiving was a celebration between colonists of Plymouth Plantation and members of the Wampanoag Indian tribe. Although history does dictate this happened, Thanksgiving was officially declared a holiday on Oct. 3, 1789, by then President George Washington. These are the opening statements of George Washington.

“Whereas it is the duty of all nations to acknowledge the providence of Almighty God, to obey his will, to be grateful for his benefits, and humbly to implore his protection and favor; and whereas both Houses of Congress have, by their joint committee, requested me “to recommend to the people of the United States a day of public thanksgiving and prayer, to be observed by acknowledging with grateful hearts the many and signal favors of Almighty God, especially by affording them an opportunity peaceably to establish a form of government for their safety and happiness:”

Please take this time of year to support the charity of your choice and share with those in need.  You will find that through your donations you will be enriched.
