Thanksgiving
Eucharist is merely the Greek word for thanksgiving. So, in a very real and non-trivial sense, for us Christians, everyday is thanksgiving day as we gather around the Table of the Lord from East to West so that a perfect offering can be made to the glory of God's name. Writing about the communion of saints, today is the memorial of St. Cecilia.

I hope you're having a wonderful Holiday, Scott. We've got a house full in Maytown, - from all over the USA and its been a great visit. More coming tomorrow. Hate to see it end, cause we don't see one another enough.
ReplyDeleteLots to be Thankful for.
God bless,

There is always a lot for which we should be thankful- everything, even difficulties. I am glad you are having a nice holiday. Don't try to hold on to it, just enjoy.
ReplyDeleteGiven the pace of our lives, Thanksgiving is always low key. I went for a long walk, just my wife and I. Then, we all went and ate with my parents, my youngest sister and my niece. We all played a few games, talked, played with my littlest guy, read. All-in-all a nice, quiet day of gratitude.
