BE THANKFUL
What should we be thankful for? Well, if nothing else you can be grateful you’re not a turkey. It is a matter of perspective.
Some years ago, I was in the magnificent National Cathedral in Mexico City when a beggar walked in from the zocalo. With no shoes and ragged clothes, the man must have struggled to exist. Yet, he walked into one of the side chapels and knelt on the stone floor, he lifted his arms to heaven to thank God.
A beam of light shown down from the clerestory windows far above and fell around the beggar like a spotlight. As I watched from behind a huge pillar, I thought that the blessing of heaven must be descending on that man.
He had so little, but so much.
Regardless of how this year has been, we all have so much to be thankful for. If nothing else, the light of heaven still shines on us even when we don’t recognize it. On this weekend of remembrance, let us all be thankful.
So much has been given.
And remember, expect the unexpected!
I have a new book coming out.
MAN ON FIRE can be ordered on Amazon or at your local book store.
