Thank You

It’s been a difficult week for thanksgiving.

The injustices of this world are so acute, so present, and so painful that–even shielded as I am from most of them–it has been a struggle to open my heart and be wholly thankful for that which is good and for my many blessings.

Not least of those blessings: Being so fortunate to be part of a profession and calling that absolutely makes this world a better place, so fortunate to work and learn and struggle with passionate, engaged, and determined people who are constantly looking for new and better ways to serve the needs of those around us.

I’m so grateful for you.

“We are not to simply bandage the wounds of victims beneath the wheels of injustice, we are to drive a spoke into the wheel itself.” –Bonhoeffer
