Happy Thanksgiving!

Several of you have been so kind as to let me know you'd like another post. Well, here it is. With the abundant blessedness that is ours, it would be truly sinful not to express sincere thanksgiving. Only when we turn our focus from ourselves toward all the brothers and sisters we share Earth with can we begin--through comparison and contrast--to fully appreciate our bounty. Compassion fails when it's motivation is not genuine gratitude; we end up on the wrong side of the equation and suffer from gluttonous greed. Just as it makes good sense to remember the reason for Christmas, we do well to remember the multitude of reasons we have to be thankful; not just today, but every day.
