Because I have been given much...

"Tuesday is trash day. To the poor it is "dumpster diving" day as they seek out their food scrapes and other treasures before the trucks pick them up. It's a chest-sinking sight - not a meal fit for a king like most American Thanksgiving Dinners are. This will be our first Thanksgiving away from our treasured American holiday where families gather to visit, count blessings, over-eat, and toss the excess into the dumpsters.

Count your many blessings! It might be a good time to ponder the words to 'Because I have been given much I, too, must give . . . Because of Thy great bounty Lord each day I live.'" - Sister Basso
