Thanksgiving... If each of us would take the time to review his or her situation, I think that we would find much to be grateful. When there are problems -- health, financial, emotional -- we tend to focus on them. The greater the difficulties the more do we spend our time thinking and talking about them. But as we look more closely at our lives, we see that everything is not bad. We are grateful for life, for the health that we do have or had, for the family that God gave us, for the abil-ity to love and help others, and for many more things. I can imagine that, after such an arduous journey, the pilgrims were most grateful to God for having made it to a new land and for their lives. Rather than mulling over the hardships in their homeland and on their voyage, they found the time to give true thanks to God. The Thanksgiving holiday is a reminder for us to see the blessings that we have and to be thankful. Hopefully, we find time everyday to tell God how much we appreciate what He has done for us. There may be difficult obstacles to over-come in our lives. Yet we know that God does care for us and wants us to be happy now and forever. Knowing the Eucharist means thanksgiving, we thank Him for this greatest of all the Sacraments and the other Sacraments -- for the gift of Himself. His Sacrifice, his forgiveness and his word are among other gifts for which we are grateful. A natural response to receiving from God is giving back to Him by Stewardship -- giv-ing our time, service and treasure. We made our commitments of time and service to God last May. Now we are making our own private commitments of treasure. By our financial support, we are showing our love and appreciation for our parish, the parish that God has given to us. We are the stewards of St. Michael's, and we take care of it and continually make it more beautiful. .

Included in this is giving to others who need our help. It is so good to see the out-pouring of gifts for the less fortunate at this time of year. May God reward you. May we continue this spirit of giving throughout the weeks and months ahead. In behalf of Fr. Jurek, Fr. George and Deacon Rey, I wish you a very HAPPY THANKSGIVING. I pray that God bless you with good health and all that you need. On this Stewardship of Treasure Commit-ment Sunday please, place your sealed commitment envelope in the collection basket along with your Sunday offer-ing. Your commitment will be place at the tabernacle for the coming year. Thank you. Fr. Stanley
