THOUGHT for YOUR WEEK:

Thanksgiving or Thanksliving

By Catherine Pulsifer

Thanksgiving
has always been for me a time to be thankful for all the blessings in
my life.  But how do we live thanksgiving? I found the answer to that
question in an article written by Wilfred A. Peterson called, The Art
of Thanksgiving.  In this article he talks about acts of thanksliving. 
To quote from this piece, Mr Peterson writes:“The
art of thanksgiving is thanksliving.  It is gratitude in action.  It is
applying Albert Schweitzer’s philosophy: ‘In gratitude for your own
good fortune you must render in return some sacrifice of your life for
the other life.’ The article goes on to give examples of what how we could live in a thanksliving way:

-          By living your life triumphantly

-          By being grateful for all who have helped you by you doing things for others

-          By striving to make others happy

-          By helping to be an inspiration to others

-          By living each day to the fullest

-          By using your talents and obligations to be invested for the common good

-          By facing the challenges of life as a challenge for achievement

-          By enjoying what you have and sharing it with others

Thanksgiving
is a time to be thankful for all we have, but thanksliving is a way of
life that if implemented could improve the quality of life not only for
you and me, but for others.  Do you live in a thanks giving way?
