It seemed to me very touching that Thanksgiving coincided with the commemoration of the holy memory of St John Chrysostom. He really gave the most powerful Thanksgiving to God…by his last words – “Glory be to God for all things”, after which he reposed in the Lord. and his glorious Pascha pastoral, which I repeat in difficult moments of my life, and it helps me greatly. and all his life – is a never-ceasing glorification & gratitude to God. Gratitude is such valuable thing in our everyday life, it makes our life, and the life of our neighbours much better in all respects! and to God – there are so many things we can be grateful to Him for! I thought yesterday – if I start giving thanks to Him for each thing or moment separately, I’d not cope with it during the whole day & night. Even if I manage to remember multiple things, I’d forget much more anyway. As my conscience is unable to comprise all God’s gifts, with my mere birth among them.

Bless,
