Thoughts for Thanksgiving

Just a quick note to wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving. We all have so much to thank God for and this holiday provides us the perfect opportunity.

I also wanted to suggest to you that there is no such thing as a coincidence. God put you in your family for a reason. Perhaps you were put there to tell the other members about God. Every family has the practical atheists or outright non-believers: tomorrow is the perfect day be a Christian example to them. If conversation turns the right way (and it should, since we all should pray before meals), take the time to tell them about Jesus. Remember, it is the Holy Spirit’s job to convert their hearts, our job is just to bring it up.

God bless,
Jay

PS – Be sure to check out the newest Catholic Carnival during your time of rest. It’s an excellent roundup of Christian thought throughout the blogosphere.
