Happy Thanksgiving!

We're about to take off up north to celebrate Thanksgiving with mom's side of the family, and I wanted to extend a "Happy Thanksgiving!" to everybody out there today.  Father, in his homily this morning, (summarizing and paraphrasing to an extreme) said we need to not only be thankful for the things, families, values, and country we have, but also our faith.  He reiterated that our faith must be the foundation of our lives, and that the absolutely best way to thank God for His gift of blessings, life, families, country, and especially faith, is through the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass.  Eucharist, in Greek, means thanksgiving, and it certainly is the greatest way we can possibly say thank you to God for creating, loving, and saving us.  With that deeper meaning in mind, Happy Thanksgiving!
