Passing-Thought

trash receptacles and eucharist

Restaurant trash receptacles always give thanks. All we feed them are leftovers and discards. Even so, they swing open their mouths and say, "Thank you." Such steadfast disposition makes our daily complaining attitude look and smell like rotten garbage. Let this instruct us as we approach His royal banquet each Sunday. We sit with the highest King and our mouth receives not his scraps, but from a select cut and an overflowing cup. Even if the world throws us its manure, is this not fertilizer for the future harvest of glory? Give thanks for all things!
