The theme in James Freeman Clarke's "Messages of Faith, Hope and Love" for November is EVERY-DAY RELIGION. This a perfect start for the Month of gratitude...
"THERE is a strange, tender beauty at this season of the year, which we all must have felt. The air, during some days of the last week, has been singularly pure and full of health. No mountain air, no Italian air, could be sweeter or purer. The woods and hills have put on their autumn dress of beauty and pride. The declining year has robed itself in majesty before bidding us farewell. And I think: " O beautiful world, world most full of beauty, which God has given us, why do we not enjoy thee more? Why are we so restless and discontented and unhappy; at war with ourselves, with those around us, even at war with Providence, when it seems as if we had only to open our hearts to all this infinite tide of God's love, and be happy?"
Amen and blessings
