How quickly Thanksgiving had passed. In a blink of an eye all that remains is leftovers. We watched football, ate turkey and ham, we demolished the dressing, and were stuffed with pie.
And here we are, and here we remain.
Are we changed? Are we different? Did this day of thanks and praise fill us with renewed strength, a renewed sense of direction, a deeper sense of purpose ?
Did we really give thanks?
What now!
Well, for starters it is time to give thanks again. Thanksgiving isn't for a day, rather it must be a life long action in our life. This is how we change.
This is how we, as St Cyprian tells us, we turn "our earthly patrimony into heavenly treasure."
Thanksgiving is meant to lead us to obedience otherwise who are we really thanking.
