Happy Thanksgiving Week!
I’m grateful for the So CA version of Fall and the opportunity to wear a sweater and burn a log or two in the fireplace! It’s a beautiful way to begin the week of celebrating our many blessings. This week is also a time to celebrate with gratitude, showing appreciation for people and places who surround us with opportunities.
The Dalai Lama is known to have said,
“The roots of all goodness lie in the soil of appreciation for goodness.”
I’m also grateful for the richness of character and integrity that emanate from friends and loved ones who bring joy to living. They add dimension and love, enhance daily experiences, and multiply the capacity to embrace the moments that create texture to the tapestry of life. I’m sure you have people in your life, as well, for whom you are forever grateful and who enrich you in such a way that your heart feels it may burst from the ensuing gratitude.
This Thanksgiving, take a moment to give back some of that joy. Give an extra hug to someone who’s struggling. Offer your time to another who needs help. Listen to a stranger’s story. Smile at one more who may desperately need to feel accepted. Give generously to your favorite charity or non-profit. Whatever you feel led to do in the way of showing thanks and gratitude, do it now and be blessed in the process. Sow into the soil of appreciation and allow the seeds you sow to grow deep roots of goodness and gratitude.
“Be persistent and devoted to prayer, being alert and focused in your prayer life with an attitude of thanksgiving.” Colossians 4:2 (AMP)
Enjoy your week and Thanksgiving celebration!
Be Well & Be Blessed!
