Power of Thank You

Thank You

Two simple words that can make a difference. By saying Thank You it indicates you are appreciative of someone for something they did. It also means that there is someone in your life who has done a good deed or said something nice to you. It seems to me that as difficult as our world can be at times these two words might help to make our lives just a little bit better.

In the near future we will celebrate a holiday known as Thanksgiving. This holiday has historical import for our nation and it also provides an annual opportunity for all of us to stop, reflect, and to give Thanks.

Families will gather, friends will unite, and a celebration of unity and food will mark a day for expression of love, humility, and indeed Thanks. The most precious gifts we have do not come in boxes or bags. Rather, family members who may be with you in person or in spirit represent what is most important. It is good to share a smile, tell each and everyone that you love them, and just hold on to a hug for an extra moment as you smile and feel the spiritual connection that love brings.

For some, this holiday might spark tension and offer the opportunity to think about small battles that might be present between family members. I encourage all to use the Holiday as a time to heal, to share love, and to express Thanks. Do so with those where some tension exists and you will feel the healing power of grace even more.

Happy Thanksgiving to you and please take a moment to be with those who mean so much to you. Regardless of our particular situation, we have much to be thankful.
