Daily Thoughts - Make God Known. Happy Thanksgiving.


Daily Thoughts - Make God Known. 

May he grant you joy of heart
    and may peace abide among you;
May his goodness toward us endure in Israel
    to deliver us in our days.  Ben Sira 50:22-23

Thankful.  I sit this morning with joy in my heart pondering the wonders of God.  He has always given the desires of my heart, I have not always given Him my heart.  Those desires lead to suffering, trials and tribulations but He allowed me to go, for I could not hear His voice nor was He a focus. He was lost to me or better said I was lost.   

Today that is different, He is my focus and I have learned to be thankful in all situations both good and bad.  Thankful for waking up each day and kneeling before Him.  Thankful for the opportunities to live out the life He gives.  Thankful for family that surrounds us.  Thankful for the chance encounters each day.  Thankful for my upbringing and the place I was planted.  Thankful for learning to grow through the pitfalls of life.  Thankful for the rich tradition that is instilled within my depths.  Thankful for knowing the Son of Man who died upon the cross so the sinner I am may live for Him. 

Be thankful in all situations, if you don't like your situation, look up and say thank You.   Being thankful is the beginning of salvation. 

Dear Father, Thank You for what You do each day, for the ways You show up and journey with us through life.  Thank You for the gift of this life, may I honor You in all that I do.  Happy Thanksgiving Father, may we all see the joy You freely give.  Love Your son. 

Mary, Our Lady of Victory, Pray for us. 
St Joesph, Pray for us. 
St Patrick, Pray for us.
