A wish for Thanksgiving

A Harvest Wish

Be gentle with yourself and others. We are all children of chance and none can say why some fields blossom while others lay brown beneath the harvest sun. Take hope that your season will come. Share the joy of those around you; look past your differences. Their dreams are no less than yours; their choices in life no more easily made. Give, in a way you can; in every way you can. Give from your heart; for to give is to love and to withhold is to wither. Care less for the size of your harvest than for how it is shared; and your life will have meaning; and your heart will have peace. (from an anonymous 17^th century sermon)
