This morning you will wake up, drink a cup of coffee, head out to Thanksgiving dinner, perhaps have a bit of dessert, and then, maybe you will hit up the Black Friday deals tomorrow. Your average Thanksgiving in ‘merica.
I’m just going to ask you to do one little thing in addition to all of that. Take a minute to think about where it all comes from. The coffee, the food, the goods. Chances are you don’t know their sources, and that’s ok. I probably won’t either. But I am working on that.
Catholic Relief Services Fair Trade is helping me with that.
So, while you are counting your blessings and doing your shopping, keep this charity in mind – even just in prayer. Pass the word along. Browse the shop. Host a party. Buy some gifts.
Happy Thanksgiving, my people.
