Gratitude

Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life.  It turns what we have into enough, and more.  It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity.  It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend.  Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow.  (Melodie Beattie, in Thinking Outside the Church, by Jennifer Leigh Selig, p. 237)
 
Have a Happy Thanksgiving everyone.
 
Mr. Dickie
