Giving Thanks: Saints and Scripture Sunday

By Dianna Kennedy 9 Comments

Saints and Scripture Sunday

2 Corinthians 9:15

Thanks be to God for His indescribable gift!

As we move swiftly toward Thanksgiving, it’s natural that my thoughts center around being thankful for the numerous blessings in my life.

My family: my wonderful husband and children – you all make me a better person, day after day.

My faith: By studying my faith, my love for my Catholic Church has grown even stronger. I’m also very cognizant and thankful for the freedom to worship the way I choose.

My friends: always supportive, through thick and thin – here’s hoping that I’m as much of a support system to you as well.

Before carving the turkey and shopping this week, be sure and stop to appreciate the little things in your life. Instead of complaining about the pile of laundry, be thankful you have clothes to wear. Grumpy that the house is dirty? Give thanks that you have a home in which to live. Children making you crazy? (this would be me) Be thankful you have children – there are many women in the world who desperately want to be in your shoes. You get the idea.

Christ the King

This Sunday marks the celebration of Christ the King, right before we proceed into Advent. This feast day was instituted by Pope Pius XI in the 1920s, when secularism was on the rise. At this time, many Christians were doubting Christ’s authority, as well as the Church’s role. Sound familiar?

Celebrating this feast day immediately before we move into Advent is a powerful reminder to place Christ in His proper role in our lives, then to prepare our hearts for Him.

How’s your week shaping up? Be sure and leave a comment to share with others.

    Amen! To help my son learn a little about giving thanks, I’ve been having him tell me at least one thing he is grateful for each day before he goes to sleep at night. It’s been kind of funny listening to his ideas!

      I’ve tried this,too, but Rachel doesn’t quite grasp the concept yet. Although …. she’s got the Hail Mary and Our Father down pat. Not bad for 4 years old.

    Thank you for the reminder to say it out loud. I do have a lot to be thankful for this week, and how fitting that it’s the perfect week for thankfulness coming up too! I am thankful for my daughter, my husband and his safety thus far while deployed, I’m thankful for getting accepted to nursing school and I’m thankful for good blogs to remind me to thank HIM for making it all possible.
