Dear Folks, 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. The first 15 minutes of the session was prayer and context and the rest was conversation reflecting on our experiences of gratitude. 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, attached is a synopsis of the session. Giving deep thanks for all of you and our years of collegiality. Hope you all have a beautiful day. Blessings! Ellie elliestock@aol.com
