Our Thank You photo today ties in with our Thought For Today below
Thought on Friday – November – 27/11/2020
‘If you want to find joy, you must first find thankfulness. Indeed, the one who is thankful for even a little enjoys much. But the unappreciative soul is always miserable, always complaining.’ ~Francis Frangipane
Yesterday was Thanksgiving Day in the U.S and it is always celebrated on the fourth Thursday in November. In America yesterday many families gathered to celebrate, to share a meal, to relax and importantly to give thanks for blessings received. With President Elect Joe Biden’s Irish connections there is much to celebrate.
It is a day for all of us to pause too and to quietly thank God for all our blessings. 2020 has been particularly difficult for all of us and maybe we feel blessings are very scarce all around us. But if we can look deeper we know we will find some things to be grateful for.
A spirit of thankfulness or gratefulness always goes a long way. It is something we always have to work towards as it is often easy to take so much for granted. We thank God for all our blessings and it is particularly good and fitting to do it on Thanksgiving Day.
