“Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name.” (Psalms 100:4)

Let’s approach thanksgiving as if we are walking through a glorious gate, being invited in to experience something wonderful. It isn’t only about the holiday rituals and gatherings, although those can be lovely. It’s about consciously coming into that beautiful space of gratitude.

And this we can do every day. We can come before God, Life, Truth, with a sense of honor and awe. We can look around us and within us and discover the Love that is truly the very substance of all that is. We can recognize with spiritual eyes open, the treasures that are ours to enjoy and to share—those gifts of beauty, inspiration, generosity, humor, honesty, integrity, compassion, goodness.

These wonderful qualities and so many more emanate from God. They are His own nature being made known.  Through our thanksgiving for these attributes that we see expressed, we awaken to the greater good that may seem hidden. We see possibilities to grow, to help others, to love better and to receive love more graciously.

We are always welcome to go through the gates—into that beautiful palace that is God’s kingdom, His place of peace and joy, of unity and harmony. Giving thanks openly and in our hearts is the password to enter and enjoy God’s bounty and to share it with all.

Happy Thanksgiving!
