Take the time to celebrate abundance

I've been struck by the increasing frenzy over giving thanks for what we have, then rushing out to buy more. We barely have time to reflect on abundance; and then there's the fact that many people have no idea Whom they are thanking.

Readers in the Episcopal Diocese of Northern California will have seen this reflection by Daniel Green, but I'm posting the link here for those who haven't:

And when we thank God for our laden tables and many blessings, let's thank God for all those people who helped the food get to our tables, especially agricultural and food system workers whose work is not fairly compensated.
