Ever Thankful

"In the Lord, I will be ever thankful; in the Lord I will rejoice." ~ lyrics of a Taize song

It is Thanksgiving weekend here in Canada. I am grateful for an extra day of rest and for the fact that I am at a retreat centre this weekend by myself. I am hosting supper on Sunday night and looking forward to that. I also will appreciate the opportunity to sit in front of the blessed sacrament and pray. I have a number of things I want to do this weekend. I hope to leave here a more focused person.

I was at another retreat centre earlier tonight for Taize prayer. I first heard the song we sang tonight when I visited Taize in France. I loved it then and continue to find joy in it now.

I have much to be thankful for this weekend and want to spend some time in reflecting on the gratitude I gathered this summer. This will be the perfect place to do it.

Peace,

Suzanne
