It’s Thanksgiving in Canada, a very special day to “serve” and to share with friends and family. In particular, no matter what challenging circumstances we may each face at the moment, it’s a day to reflect on all the blessings we do enjoy in our personal lives and to be grateful for each and every one of them. Having an “attitude of gratitude” every day of the year, not just at special times such as this, is critical. Many of us may not feel as “rich” as we were even just a couple of months ago, given the turmoil in the markets, but we challenge everyone to think of richness not just in financial terms.
As Canadians, we can also of course be thankful for living in such a magnificent country with the freedoms and blessings that so many people around the world simply do not have.
God has called us to live generous lives and to be a blessing to others. From all of us at BMR, Happy Thanksgiving!
To our American friends, who celebrate Thanksgiving next month, happy Columbus Day! This day remembers Christopher Columbus’ arrival to the Americas on October 12, 1492.
Canadian stock markets are closed today. U.S. stock markets are open (the bond market is closed) though trading volumes will be lighter with the Columbus Day holiday. Our regular BMR Morning Musings resumes tomorrow but check back later today as we’ll have another separate piece for subscribers.
