As we enter into a season of thanksgiving and being with others.
I challenge us all to take note of what we are thankful for
and create within our selves an attitude of gratitude.

I challenge us all to create a quiet time
perhaps pour a cup of tea
write down on paper
our thankfulness
our gratefulness
and in that process
I hope
our thoughts will not be on how busy the season is
but how wonderfully blessed we really are.
