This is a great lead into the episode of All-Volunteer, All Heart as Binky Patrol is preparing for Saturday’s national Bink-A-Thon with 9 locations participating in making as many blankets as possible on one day – 10/28. Many thanks to the MrBallen Foundation for making this event possible. With that feeling of gratitude, and as we go into a season of giving, Fr. Bill reminds us that everything and everyone belongs to God. There’s no possible way to “pay” God back for all he has done for you, but a sincere prayer of thanksgiving from the heart is priceless. So, when you wake up and put your feet on the floor, thank God for another day, a day that you did not create and is a sheer gift to you. Not a bad way to start a day.
