It's Thanksgiving Day in Canada. A country with so much to be thankful for, including two official languages: English and French. Thanksgiving in French, is Action de Grace. An easy way to remember, is to think that when we say grace before a meal, we are giving thanks. Thanks for nature's bounty, for the farmers who planted, tended, and harvested the crops, the truckers who transported it, the grocery store workers who stocked the shelves and handled the cash, the people who cooked the dinner, and for those sharing in the meal.
You know how I love to play with words...Action de Grace also makes me think of grace in action. It is in doing acts of kindness, and extending a hand to those in need, that we express grace.
Hope your Thanksgiving Day was shared with friends.
