My Thoughts on Giving Thanks

[Guest guest]

Hi friends,

Today, in the wake of world events, giving thanks

seems more important than ever. I scheduled this

topic yesterday, not knowing how much it would be

needed today, considering the situation. Please take

time to pray for those killed and injured, their

families and loved ones.

--Giving Thanks--9/11/2001

Today as in every day I say thank you when I wake

up, and when I go to sleep, and often during the day

as well. I give thanks to Creator, my guides, and the

spirits of all things. I do this because it makes

sense to me, not to follow one group or another. It

feels right for me. Even when things don't go as I

want, and I don't even feel thankful, I give thanks

anyway. My name for Deity is Creator. I might say,

" Creator, thank you for all you've given me, I'm sorry

I don't feel very thankful today. Please forgive me. "

Then I remember all the blessings I've been given,

and remember some good times, and say thank you for

all I've been given, blessings, protection, love,

guidence, and wisdom. Above all else, I treasure these

true riches given me, which includes health and

friendship. I have much to be thankful for. Giving

thanks is a way of showing appreciation. Do we only

show appreciation when things go right? When your

lover, child or friend misbehaves do you still express

your love? Do you remember to say thank you before

asking for something? How often do you just stop and

look around you at the beauty all around and just say,

" thank you " ? Have you ever had the inclination

seemingly out of nowhere to just stop and express your

appreciation? Everyone deserves acknowledgement, not

just Creator, but your friends, coworkers, children,

lovers and relatives. Often people do things just for

gratification, which is questionable. Do you do

things just for the joy of giving? How often do you

remember to say thank you?

Friends,

Today, in the wake of the NTC horror, I ask Goddess to send love and protection and comfort to all the families of the people killed, injured, and missing. I ask Goddess to send love into the hearts of those who did this evil deed, that they may know the evil they do, feel remorse, and feel love instead of hate. I ask Goddess to help us seek out the perpetrators that they may be stopped from ever committing any other acts of terrorism. That she help us to stop outlaw nations and cells, by destroying them, if necessary, for the peace and safety of all humanity. Evil is in our midst. We must eradicate it. Then, I wonder if this isn't a form of radical fanaticism. If we are, indeed, One, then if we punish any, don't we punish all? Is this how the muslim fanatics justify their cruel acts? They believe our destruction is necessary for their survival. If I believe their destruction is necessary for my survival, am I a fanatic? If only I were wise enough to know the answer. I continue to manifest peace and love, knowing that, at least, does no harm. In the spirit of love, Eve
