During the month of November, we gave thanks for just a few of the many, many gifts we have been given. Here's a recap of the month:
Nov. 1 - all the Saints Nov. 2 - for Purgatory Nov. 3 - for Falling Leaves Nov. 4 - for Fall Skies Nov. 5 - for Daylight Savings Time Nov. 6 - for Faith Nov. 7 - for Cinnamon Nov. 8 - for Chrysanthemums Nov. 9 - for Bascilicas Nov. 10 - for Pumpkins Nov. 11 - for Pumpkin Crunch Nov. 12 - for Pumpkin Seeds Nov. 13 - for Coffee Nov. 14 - for Cold Weather Nov. 15 - for St. Albert the Great Nov. 16 - for St. Margaret of Scotland Nov. 17 - for St. Elizabeth of Hungary Nov. 18 - for Ushers Nov. 19 - for Warm Clothes Nov. 20 - for Good Shoes Nov. 21- for our Roots Nov. 22 - for Thanksgiving Nov. 23 - for Leftovers Nov. 24 - for Hot Water Nov. 25 - the greatest gift, Jesus Christ Nov. 26 - the Ability to Read Nov. 27 - the Bible Nov. 28 - for Second Chances Nov. 29 - Mary, Mother of God and our Mother Nov. 30 - these and all other gifts! This doesn't even come close to all of our gifts. We didn't mention family, friends, school, sports, any animals, any plants, the beach, the mountains, snowy hilltops...the list really goes on and on. Now that November has ended and we are in those couple of days of transitioning into the Advent season, we hope that this practice of "Giving Thanks for 30 Days" has helped you to be more aware of just a few of the gifts you have. As we look towards Christmas and the birth of Christ, we hope that you are more likely to carry a heart of gratitude with you, to notice more of your blessings, and to continue to answer the question - "What do I Give Thanks for today?"
