Thanksgiving Day is being celebrated this week and so our message deals with the importance of being thankful.

Thanksgiving Day is all too frequently thought of as merely a feast day. In fact, it is sometimes referred to humorously as "turkey day." But Thanksgiving Day should have a holier meaning for us. It should remind us of the great love of divine Love which for so long has fed us spiritually with love, joy and compassion.

Let us be thankful to divine Love for all the good received; but let's also remember the warning given in the Bible which says: "Beware...lest when thou hast eaten and art full... thou forget the Lord thy God." Let's resolve not to forget, but to remember, the divine Giver of all good, and be truly thankful. Then, and only then, we will have a blessed and holy Thanksgiving Day.
