Bless the Lord, all you works of the Lord,
praise and exalt him above all forever. (Daniel 3:57 NABRE)
As we approach our national holiday of Thanksgiving, today's verse from the book of Daniel serves as a great reminder of how we should approach this holiday which is intended to be about gratitude. We are created by God, we are works of his hands, we are like pottery made for his purpose, and it is good for us to remember this with humility at all times, but especially at Thanksgiving.
May we remember, in each moment of this coming Thanksgiving, the Lord who has provided us with so many blessings. May our hearts be filled with gratitude to the Lord who has made us stewards of his bountiful earth. May our actions reflect the love he has for each of his creations as we care for all those we come in contact with this week. And may we bless the Lord, praising him and exalting him above all forever!
Today, I will humbly and gratefully, give thanks to the Lord for the many blessings in my life.
Saint Andrew Dung-Lac and Companions, 117 people martyred in Vietnam between 1820 and 1862, pray for us.
