Thanks a million times, dearest Jesus, for all Your goodness. I will love and serve You now till death.

COMMENT: In recent days we have discussed the problems faced by Ireland. But there are many readers of this site from outside Ireland. Today in particular we think of our American friends who celebrate Thanksgiving Day.

Even those who face troubles and woes of various types have much to be thankful for. The Lord has given us life and faith and many other blessings and graces all throughout our lives. He has protected us from problems and difficulties that we may not even be aware of. Most importantly of all, He desires union with us for eternity and designs all things to this end. We just need to co-operate with His plan and rely on His grace.
