Giving Thanks

Blessed Lord, we pray Thee to be present at our table hallowing Thy gifts to our use; that eating to satisfy our needs we may remember those who lack. -St. Francis of Assisi

Don't forget to remember those whose plate is not as full as yours and mine. In your sphere of influence do a simple, random act of kindness today. A nice compliment to the checker at the grocery store, hug a child and encourage them, give a gift card to someone in need. Clean out your closet and give it away. Hand over your tunic too! Extra coats, hats and gloves? Someone somewhere is cold. Take care of them because you can. Giving thanks may be more than mental assent... but prayer is a great place to start.
