a year of thanksgiving


a prayer, a challenge
a year of thanksgiving
not for the harvest
for the bounty alone;
for the little things
the big things,
things that matter
for life, salvation
for life after death;
not looking down
the negative only
instead remembering
all the things
for which we are thankful;
smiling more
offering blessing
loving our neighbor
out of our thanksgiving

Matthew 9:35-38
“37 Then he said to his disciples, “The harvest is plentiful
but the workers are few. 38 Ask the Lord of the harvest,
therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field.”
