I came that they may have life, and have it abundantly.
John 10
As we head toward Thanksgiving, it is good to remember the Author of our abundance.
We can celebrate our blessedness during this commemorative holiday, or we can fret over all that there is to do, and all that we haven’t gotten done.
For those of us who cook during this time, the list of dishes, and the hope that all will be delicious and hot, can be overwhelming.
But what if we remember that Christ has come to give us life, and to give it abundantly?
What if we remember a hillside, in the middle of nowhere, where 5, 000 hungry people were fed with a few loaves and fish?
What if we consider that the reason all were fed was due to generosity and blessing?
All of us have blessings. All of us have challenges. Sometimes these are the same things!
This Thanksgiving let us practice abundance. Let us consider that Christ is blessing our cooking and our preparation, our guests and our feast.
At the Center for Spiritual Development we will take some time on the Friday after Thanksgiving to walk in gratitude for all that is-blessings and challenges.
We will walk to remember that whatever happened the day before we were held in God’s embrace and we are still being held.
Let there be a pause for gratitude in your holiday weekend.
Meet at the Labyrinth-4: 30-5:30
Friday, November 25.
Blessings,
Debra
