Thanks Giving

In giving thanks we see reality.  Love sees how things really are.  The impulse to thank is recognition of the gift of creation that we live -- we are gifts in it!  And to see a gift is to see the love that lies behind it, that motivates it.

Thanks giving is particular, for gifts are as manifold and abundant as a cornucopia.  But it is also universal, general, in seeing a transcendental reason in love that brings each gift into being.

Let us give thanks abundantly to God for the manifold gifts we have received!  I want to tell each of YOU in my life that I give thanks to God for YOU!
