Reposting a 2023 blog I wrote where I share the importance of offering thanks to God, some gems about giving thanks from St. Paul, and the 4 ways in which I felt God calling me to give thanks at Thanksgiving time! It's such a good reminder for me. Happy Thanksgiving!
A Thanksgiving reflection on God's grace and sustenance where I share how several scripture verses as well as some words of St. Francis of Assisi and Bishop Barron play out in my life.
Sharing how a recent find in my medical case has a strong spiritual parallel and discussing how the enemy of our souls uses tactics like fear and worry to get us off track. Thankfully, St. Paul gives us a solution that's applicable to everyone, though!
Sharing my heart's journey with the Litany of Humility (a perfect Lenten challenge) and how Jesus is teaching me more about love and freedom of heart through this prayer. We all struggle with pride, which manifests itself in a multitude of ways, but the virtue of humility is a gift that is the perfect antidote to pride!

For years St. Paul's words about rejoicing in suffering confused and bothered me, but recently the Holy Spirit enlightened me in a way that I can connect with St. Paul's words in my own life.
