What we’re really talking about
is a wonderful day set aside on the fourth Thursday
of November
when no one diets.
I mean,
why else would they call it Thanksgiving?
~Erma Bombeck, “No One Diets on Thanksgiving,” 26 November 1981

When you arise in the morning,
give thanks for the morning light,
for your life and strength.
Give thanks for your food
and the joy of living.
If you see no reason for giving thanks,
the fault lies in yourself.
~ Tecumseh
Never question the truth of what you fail to understand,for the world is filled with wonders.
Frederick Buechner
Faith is the mother of tenderness, trust and joy.
[Jean-Pierre de Caussade]
Andre DuBus writes that "Christ kept eating with people after He was dead. He still does. The Last Supper is not in the past, but in the present."
Those who keep speaking about the sun while walking under a cloudy sky are messengers of hope, the true saints of our day.
~ Henri Nouwen
Psalm 62
In God alone there is rest for my soul, from him comes my safety; . . .
To see a world in a grain of sand,
And a heaven in a wild flower,
Hold infinity in the palm of your hand,
And eternity in an hour.
[William Blake]
