Thanksgiving!

This year's resolution...only Thanksgiving! In my life, I shall only see the grace of both the good and the bad, the endings and the beginnings, the joys and the sorrows because all is good!

When I wake up in the morning, I shall thank God that I am still in His thoughts, for nothing short of that would have woken me up for another day.

At mass, I shall thank God for He allows me to experience anew His timeless and eternal sacrifice and it's fruits.

In prayer, I shall thank God that I am able to pray ...because I know how it us to not be able to, to be ashamed to do so and to be apathetic even when I am able to.

In my petitions, I shall thank God for the faith to ask, for the courage to turn to Him, for the hope of being satisfied or comforted.

In my remorse, I shall thank God that he allowed my sorrow to be deep and my longing to close the gap harrowing.

In my happiness, I shall thank God for the smiles and the little miracles that led to that moment.
In my sorrow, I shall thank God that I am able to run to Him.

In my doubt, I shall thank God for allowing me to recognize his push or pull.

In my fatigue, I shall thank God that I am busy and mobile.

In leisure, I shall thank God that I am able to sip the essence of time.

In the company of my family, I shall thank God for His embrace.

In the company of my friends, I shall thank God for the intertwined lives that did not pass unnoticed.

Moreover, I shall ask Mother Mary to teach me how to worthily give thanks to the Creator for there is no one more grateful than her.
