Thankful

Today at our soup kitchen prayer session, we focused on what we want to be thankful for.  Here are a few of the responses:
A man said, “I am thankful for my family gathered here in this room.  I do have family, but they don’t contact me.  This is my family now.”

A woman said: “I thank God for the hard times of the past year because facing those challenges makes me more grateful for the good times.”

A younger man said: “I thank God for freedom.  After being in prison, I know how good it feels just to be free.” -Br. Bob
