Greetings dear friends,
On the fourth Thursday of November we observe a day of Thanksgiving in the United States. Yet, during this challenging time, it is hard to know how to make sense of the push and pull between the gratitude and grief we all are feeling.
Therefore, I offer this prayer as an attempt to put into words some of the complicated emotions of this moment - an opportunity to honestly lament the losses and give thanks for the blessings of our lives.
I pray God's peace and love will fill your spirit with abundant hope today and every day.
With strength for today and bright hope for tomorrow,
Sharon
