Today we will gather with family and friends and count our blessings. According to St. Ignatius, we should spend time each and every day examining how God has been present to us, and recognizing all our little blessings throughout the day. It’s funny that if you sit people down at a table filled with delicious food, they are not only willing to think about the blessings in their life, but they are willing to openly share how they have been blessed. Thanksgiving is actually the perfect day to evangelize. Today it will not only be socially acceptable to talk about how wonderful God has been in your life, but people are expecting it. I wish Thanksgiving happened more than once a year. Feasting on God’s blessings is filling— and fulfilling. Who wants seconds?
