    Happy Thanksgiving~Chaplain Denise

    Years ago I had a friend I used to pray with on a regular basis. She always began her prayers with the same thanksgiving: “Lord, thank you that I woke up this morning clothed in my right mind”.  She then went on to thank God for some very basic, fundamental realities of her life. I’ve never forgotten her posture of gratitude for simple everyday blessings that I had usually taken for granted.  She taught me something that has never left me. I wake up each morning sane, “clothed in my right mind.”

    Some who know me may disagree, but that’s a discussion for another day.  The fact remains that I get up every morning and stagger to the bathroom like most of us do. I walk on two feet because I am not bound to a wheelchair. I avoid bumping into things because I can see.  I hear my alarm when it sounds and I can smell the coffee as it brews.  This year is the hardest, financially, in recent years for many Americans. Many have lost not only jobs, but homes, health, security and the list goes on. This message may reach some who feel anything but thankful. Unless we’ve been similarly affected, I don’t believe we can fully appreciate what you’ve been through.

    My prayer for you this Thanksgiving, especially for those who are suffering loss, is that you may find a respite from your grief.  For those of us who’ve had a good year, let’s be grateful for all the little things in life, in addition to the big things.  Happy Thanksgiving Everyone.

    Chaplain Denise
