Last week was Thanksgiving, a time when we are invited to name that for which we are grateful. Given all of the challenges of these days, naming our gratitude seems more important than ever. I want to return to the six-word story form. In May, I invited you to share your six-word story about the pandemic.
Here is a sample:
-Working from home is not easy.
-Not allowed to hug – so HARD
-Zoom meeting
Zoom life
Slowed down-Fear, resentment give way to gratitude.
This week, I invite you to share a six-word story that focuses on gratitude. You may just want to simply name some of the things for which you are grateful. Here are a few I created:
-Risotto, piles of leaves, Facetime, books
-Long walks, puzzles, awesome neighbors, Netflix
Or you may want to reflect on the power of gratitude.
-Even now, especially now, feeling grateful
-Less noise. God’s presence more obvious.
I invite you to share your six-word stories of gratitude in the comment section below, or on social media.

Having deep concerns about the contagion, makes me fully stop to look at family members straight in the face and more deeply “feel” for their safety. It reminds me how important they are to me.
