Kathy Downey asked for more info and one gal had not heard the term. Any suggestions on clarifying. Our new Resident Associate Pastor is on board with pursuing such a topic and the need to move with care for people's strong feelings. What is the most helpful way to proceed in your experience?

<div style="font-weight:normal">Last Sunday, Thanksgiving Sunday (also the Reign of Christ in the Christian Liturgical Calendar), I led Second Presbyterian Church's (St. Louis) Sunday Forum Group, reflecting on Giving Thanks, the Spirit of Gratitude. During the week before the participants were invited to write down/keep a mini journal (list, words, poetry, art, etc.) of their experiences of gratitude each day. </div>
<div style="font-weight:normal"><br clear="none">
</div>
<div style="font-weight:normal">The first 15 minutes of the session was prayer and context and the rest was conversation reflecting on our experiences of gratitude.</div>
<div style="font-weight:normal"><br clear="none">

<div>As we participate on this nation's observance of Thanksgiving, I thought I would share this session with you for your own refection and observations of your experiences of gratitude. So, <span style="font-weight:bold">attached</span> is a synopsis of the session.</div>
