Wednesday's Challenge: Almsgiving

Today's challenge is easy.  Send a thank you not to someone. 

No brainer right?  But if you are up to it, try to challenge yourself.  Think back, yesterday, last week, last year, five years ago.  Is there a moment that sticks out in your mind where you were moved by someone? 

How about thanking that person who has always been there for you and your family?  A friend that always helps when you need it and knows you love them but could use an extra show of appreciation.

What about those in your life that silently go about their jobs while all the time helping you or making your life better....the mailman, the bus driver, the cashier at your favorite store.

You can thank someone you don't even know.  Thank an elected official for a job well done, thank a soldier for serving his country, thank a doctor, thank a priest, thank a librarian, thank a secretary.

Last, but most important, thank your Heavenly Father for all the people in your life that you have to thank.

(For those in Powhatan the best chance to thank your God will be this Fridaynight during First Friday Adoration at St. John Neumann Catholic Church.  Make plans to spend some time with your Lord and Saviour)
