From Sunday:

Happy Thanksgiving to you. Have you thanked anyone for anything yet today? For most people, expressing appreciation is a natural response to receiving a gift or accepting a kind gesture or compliment. Unfortunately, there are some people who have difficulty displaying their gratitude for one reason or another. Have you ever done something nice for someone and never got thanked?
What is it that makes us forget or prevents us from offering our thanks?
And it is not just people we forget to thank. Sometimes we forget to thank God for all that we have. The good news is that the Thanksgiving Holiday reminds us all how important it is say thank you.

En Agape',
Rev. Michael
