INTERFAITH THANKSGIVING – THE STORY OF GRATITUDE

Expression of gratitude is the ultimate balancing act in everyone’s life. We know whom we receive the good from and offer our gratitude. The absence of a simple thank-you creates an imbalance in the relationship and spiritual energy, while a simple thank you restores it.

A simple thank you will do a lot of good to us, and our relationships. Most people say thanks without fail, those who miss out on a few things; we have an opportunity to reflect on this Thanksgiving Day.

He turned around and took a deep breath and looked at me, he made an effort to move, but could not, and said, son… I was rendered speechless.

Indeed the Jewish, Christian, Muslim, Hindu, Zoroastrian, Buddhist, Sikh, Wicca, Native Americans all have guided humanity to live in harmony, most people get it, and few don’t.
