This reflection will be short. If you pay attention to any prayer that I lead in our parish, I almost always start with the words, "Almighty God we give you thanks for..." Whether it is a funeral, a meal, a meeting or before the service. All to often we engage in a prayer of begging for God to meet our needs instead of entering prayer to return thanks to God for all that we have. We, as selfish humans, always want more, want better, want prettier, want quicker, want more functional, want...we very seldom give thanks and praise for what we have.
Today, as you live, move, and have your being, give thanks for all of the blessings of this life.
