We call it Good Friday. In a few minutes we are going to share in the Eucharist. In Greek eucharizein means to give thanks. As we take the bread and the wine, we are going to be thankful for everything we can think of, however bad at the time. The Lord loves us, forgives us however rotten we have been, and continue to be, and when we die He welcomes us on the other side to all the joys of heaven.
Thanksgiving is the heart of faith, it is the heart of wholeness, and it is the heart of our church.
Let's take a moment right now to turn our faith satellite to thank God for everything we can think of, both the good, and the not so good. And like that leper we are made whole.
