Thanksgiving Prep

So yesterday I threw myself into cleaning the house and de-cluttering since we are hosting Thanksgiving this year.

That made me wonder, as a reader put it, do we do the same with our souls? How do we know what we are thankful for unless we clean up our lives and start to de-clutter our minds?

I don't know about you, but I'm going to take an opportunity to look back on the last year and de-clutter and clean. Get rid of the mess that is trying to block me from seeing what it is Jesus wants me to reflect on.

A little Sacrament of Reconciliation.

A little prayer of reflection.

Then when it comes time to give thanks, I'll know exactly what I'm saying thank you for.
