“Just as there are seasons in the world around us, so there are in our interior life," Teresa of Avila wisely observed. "We cannot expect it to be otherwise."

Good and gracious God, this time of year we think of everything we should be thankful for. We take a moment today to give thanks for the blessings you have given us. Thank you to our friends, and our families, for the laughter, for sunshine, for the gentle rains, and the beautiful skies. May we always see the blessings in our lives and take time to appreciate them. Amen
