As most of us know, tomorrow is Thanksgiving.  Though we all have much for which to give thanks, perhaps the most important thing for which to give thanks is that we can give thanks.  That we can consciously rejoice in who we are and what we have been given, that we can be aware of the gracious bounty of the universe, that we can know, really know, that we are beings who can create moral lives.  We give thanks because we can give thanks.
     In addition, if, as many theologians have observed, all truth is God's truth, then we can give thanks for the incredible range of ways that those of us on the planet have found this truth, God's truth, that has defined and shaped their lives.  So give thanks most of all to God.  Give thanks to God that, despite the fractured state of modern spirituality, he is nonetheless able to communicate and present himself, the eternal fount of truth, to us, that in Jesus Christ, God has made himself known--everywhere.
     Whatever else you do this Thanksgiving, be grateful for the ubiquity of God.
