Be Thanksgiving

Psalm 145:10
All your works give you thanks, O Lord.

Most of creation has no choice but to simply be itself with every fiber of its being…whether it’s an insect, a bird, a plant, a tree or a dog. In doing so…they give thanks to their Creator. But as human beings made in the image of God…we are given free will. We have choices. How do we become the fullness of what God made us to be with every fiber of our being? As St. Ignatius said…we were made to praise, reverence and serve God. That means now…in the circumstances we find ourselves this moment. How can I use my gifts and talents to praise, reverence and serve God this day…to make a positive difference…to help bring about the kingdom of God? When we do this…we not only give thanks to God…we are thanks.
