Giving Thanks

A year ago yesterday we heard a homily at Mass about "rearranging deck chairs". It spoke to me like no other homily had before, and I think about it often. The last couple of weeks, I thought about it daily. I tried to remind myself over and over and over, "concentrate on what matters most. Stop trying to rearrange the deck chairs". 

While Thanksgiving day itself came and went quickly, I think as a family we saw the big picture. We forgot about the deck chairs for a day. 

We were together. And we were grateful.
