I am unabashedly borrowing from Kendra Wheeler a spiritual practice for the month of November. Starting today I will post a photo and comment about something for which I am thankful.
I’ll start with my friend Bernard. Just this morning we had breakfast together and part of our conversation was about gratitude and humility. We spoke about something that was troubling him… a situation where there appeared to a lack of gratitude and an accompanying sense of entitlement and arrogance. We both welled up with tears when we recalled the video clip of the small boy a couple of days ago who hugged and embraced the Pope… and gratitude for the way he showed amazing patience and care for that child.
Bernard and Gloria led the vows renewal service five years ago when Tam and I celebrated our 25th wedding anniversary. Both of them are wonderful examples of lives of serving others from a base of gratitude and humility. We are grateful for them!
