The Spirit of Thanksgiving

The Spirit of Thanksgiving
by Robert G Parent

Thanksgiving is the beginning of the season of lights. When we come to the light with a thankful spirit, we see the whole season differently. Some see the season monetarily, some see what they can get, and some see where they can give.

Also when we come into the season of lights with a thankful spirit, we see the truth that is within all the religious celebrations. Why do we make or focus on the differences between all the religions, instead of honoring the similarities? All religion and spiritual thought have the same foundations -- trying to understand the soul and those lives beyond our physical senses.

Also when we come into the season of lights with a thankful spirit, we see the differences as seasoning that make this life experience excited and wonderful to live. It's the differences that help humanity learn and grow. Its the differences that bring us new understanding because without anything new, humanity will degenerate and not discover their potential and their purpose in the Universe God.
