The conversations about Sabbath keeping and what a Sabbath is and how we might keep the Sabbath in our world today have been really interesting. But I've been pondering this week the concept of Thanksgiving.
It's easy for me to make a long list of things that I'm thankful for. It's harder to take the time to remember to make the list - but that's another story. But as I look at the list of things I'm thankful for they are all good things. I can imagine you saying - well of course- what else would you be thankful for.
But I've been thinking about St. Paul's direction to Christians - "rejoice always, pray constantly, give thanks in all circumstances"
It's that giving thanks in all circumstances that I've been thinking about. How do we, how do I give thanks for things I don't like and didn't want. How do I give thanks for the bad things?
