Today I go grocery shopping for our Thanksgiving meal. All the usual things - green bean casserole, dressing, pumpkin pie, whip cream....and yet to me Thanksgiving is not about the abundance of food but the abundance of love, family, friends, and grateful hearts.
I realize that during this time of difficult economic times life can be challenging at best for some and "abundance" in your life can seem an intangible concept. When we change our focus from wide angle to macro...we can, with an open heart, see some flicker of hope, in the warm smile and hug of a loved one, the beauty to behold in nature's bounty, and the simple blessing each breath brings.
I wish you all an open heart, a full heart, as you embrace and rejoice in your bounty of blessings.
Happy Thanksgiving my friends!
