Beloved, Rev. Dr. Howard Thurman's "Litany of #Thanksgiving" is glorious. Text to follow, for use in your home, your prayers, your community. Full text from a @MarshChapel sermon here: blogs.bu.edu/sermons/2008/1…
Today, I make my Sacrament of Thanksgiving.
I begin with the simple things of my days:
Fresh air to breathe,
Cool water to drink,
The taste of food,
The protection of houses and clothes,
The comforts of home.
For all these I make an act of #Thanksgiving this day!

Do you remember? Today, October 8, marks the 5 year anniversary of the closure of Long Island Bridge in #Boston, which cut hundreds of people off from shelter and recovery services. #BostonWarm#StillLongIsland#Bospoli 1/
"when the bridge was finally deemed unsafe for travel on the afternoon of Oct. 8, the city had no emergency evacuation plan in place." It was a disaster for the city of #Boston. So many lives were uprooted. #StillLongIsland#BostonWarm 2/ www3.bostonglobe.com/metro/2014/12/…
