Things to be thankful for - and something to think about

There are many things to be thankful for. But the greatest of these is God's mercy. Despite the fact that we disobey Him time after time, God always gives us another chance. He knows all our strengths and our weaknesses. It would be wrong however to think that this gives us the right to sin as much as we wish. Once you have identified your sin, God expects you to make a proper effort to correct it.

There are many people (myself sometimes included) who make a small effort to correct sin and then happily give up the attempt, as if this will fool the Lord. I feel that, although we are the grateful recipients of God's divine mercy, we abuse this gift at our soul's mortal peril.

God bless you - N
