Happy Thanksgiving 2007

“Gratitude … goes beyond the “mine” and “thine” and claims the truth that all of life is a pure gift. In the past I always thought of gratitude as a spontaneous response to the awareness of gifts received, but now I realize that gratitude can also be lived as a discipline. The discipline of gratitude is the explicit effort to acknowledge that all I am and have is given to me as a gift of love, a gift to be celebrated with joy.”

– Henri J. M. Nouwen

TJB wants to take the time to wish a very happy Thanksgiving to everyone who reads this blog. Football is great, but pausing to be thankful for family, friends and our blessings (and then watching the Jets after) is even better. Happy Thanksgiving!
