" A Season of Gratitude"
“At times, our own light goes out and is rekindled by a spark from another person. Each of us has cause to think with deep gratitude of those who have lighted the flame within us.” – Albert Schweitzer
November has arrived and we are now into “full-blown” fall. The air is chilly in the mornings and evenings, the days are crisp, the leaves are changing colors and falling around us…things are changing. November is also a special season in the church as we celebrate All Saints Sunday, a time in which we remember those who have gone before us…the people we walked with, talked with, laughed with and sometimes cried with…people whose lives were intertwined with ours. As many of us come to this time of remembrance with sadness, it is my prayer that it is also a time of great thanksgiving of lives made richer.
Later in the month when we gather around the thanksgiving meal we speak of being thankful for our homes, our jobs, and our “stuff” when, in fact, any of these can be replaced, upgraded, and improved upon. The important things…the people we love, our relationships, these can never be replaced and should be cherished. Remember with gratitude how they have helped shape you and loved you and “rekindled a spark within you.” Send a card, a text, make a phone call to say “thank you, you’ve been important in my life.” And when you can’t speak with them directly, send up a prayer of gratitude for lives that have poured into yours.
Thank you my dear friends for being part of my life. You bring me joy, laughter, love and tears and I cherish each one of you.
Grace and Peace,
Pastor Kathy
