A Chapter – Thanksgiving...
In this ‘thanking’ season, Chapter 2016 calls for deep remembering and giving thanks. What is striking me most these days is the on-going assertion that attests to a special spirit, a wholly ‘Holy Spirit,’ both during the experience and palpable still. Along with being so grateful to all who toiled diligently behind the scenes, and prayed behind the scenes, I feel deep gratitude to Marguerite’s spirit in us that dared to listen deeply and dared to keep it simple... dared to invite us, one and all, to go to the peripheries of our own thoughts, behaviours, limitations and comfort zones... wherever we find ourselves and whatever our age, that Love and Compassion be cultivated in ways that might well amaze even ourselves!
For the leadership that got us here and for the leadership that will walk with us into God’s new doings, deepest gratitude. Thanksgiving reminds me that if we have the will, we have the grace!
