Other Seasons

The Thanksgiving holiday brings to mind a conference I recently attended, where people talked about the connection between “thanks” and “giving.”

The birds and daffodils bring to mind the words of Pope Francis in Laudato Si: “The entire material universe speaks of God’s love.”

The power to change your life lies within you--so how can you make your list of resolutions into a list of thanksgiving? 

We've learned the importance of acknowledging gifts and showing gratitude. But what about giving thanks for challenges and disappointments too? 

What does this year hold? Will we be strong enough to meet its challenges? Will it be an uphill climb, or will it be a gentle walk?
