HARVEST DEFINED

har vest |ˈhärvist|:  (noun)  the process or period of gathering in crops, the season's yield or crop. 

In 1863 the U.S. was embattled in the civil war. There was horrible bloodshed and division within the country and even within families. With this backdrop, President Lincoln issued a Proclamation for a national day of THANKSGIVING. He had the courage to ask American to celebrate a Harvest festival. So, despite any challenges facing any of us, we're still called on Thanksgiving Day to express gratitude.

I invite you to reflect on your year's HARVEST.

1. What has your harvest yielded this year within yourself, your family, your career, or in other ways?
2. Please list three things for which you are thankful.
3. I request you express this gratitude at your Thanksgiving table. For some this might be a new ritual or it may feel uncomfortable. Go for it!

I really want to hear your experience of doing this exercise. Thank you

"As we express our gratitude,
we must never forget that the highest appreciation
is not to utter words, but to live by them. "
