As we approach Thanksgiving, our thoughts turn to giving thanks for all the good things the Lord has done and provided, especially since the beginning of the year. At the same time, we know that gratitude is a virtue that we should continually pursue as followers of Christ. In what follows, we'll consider several ways we can grow in the often-neglected virtue of gratitude and make it part of our daily lives. |

The way to pray like Jesus taught us to pray includes this unavoidable invitation: learn to live like a monk in the ordinary world. Historically speaking, this is the drum that God's people have always been beating. My suspicion is that when the apostle Paul instructed the church to "pray without ceasing," he had in mind both a constant state of interior being and an outward, committed, concrete rhythm. The invitation is something like "pray like a band of wild, unruly monks," and as you do, love and power will bloom together from within you. |

In the USA next week we celebrate Thanksgiving Day. I have always treasured this holiday because its intention is so clear and so right. It is not so cluttered with commercialism and busyness. It recalls the harvest of fields, and invites us to look for a harvest of God's goodness in our own lives. In the book of Philippians the apostle Paul gives us a powerful invitation to pray. |
