As we take a national day to pause and consider our blessings, I think of an old quote of Chesterton's:
"You say grace before meals. All right. But I say grace before the concert and the opera, and grace before the play and pantomime, and grace before I open a book, and grace before sketching, painting, swimming, fencing, boxing, walking, playing, dancing and grace before I dip the pen in the ink."
Let's be grateful for more than a turkey, potatoes and historical myths. Let's embrace our blessings with prayer that becomes life, and a life that becomes prayer.
In all things, give thanks.
