“Don’t worry?! Be Happy??!!”
This was Thanksgiving Sunday on the Canadian calendar, and also the day we marked the 125th anniversary of this faith community, which began as a Presbyterian mission in 1899 meeting in the then newly built schoolhouse, and which over the decades grew to become Lilly Memorial Church and then in the 1950s, Cedar Park United Church.
We indeed have so much for which to give thanks, together. And “giving thanks” is most fulfilling and most impactful when we can include a true “action de grâce.” When we accept that all things are God’s gift to all, generosity and sharing become the natural outpouring of gratitude.
