On the road, I decide to take my own Thursday challenge and bless God–that is, speak good words to God. But that’s pretty much my usual routine. I want my Thanksgiving blessings to be special. I resolve to go beyond the quick praise, to peel off the layers and get to the root of the blessing. For example:
Me: Thank you, Lord, for safe travel. Thank you that I’m dry and toasty here in my car. Thank you for imparting your creativity to the automotive designers who made this vehicle possible. Thank you for the natural resources that went into the metal and plastic and rubber and glass. I praise you for the fossil fuels you programmed in at the creation of the world that now power my travel.
