Happy Thanksgiving!

Call To Action wishes you and your community a Happy Thanksgiving!

As we gather to celebrate Thanksgiving, Call To Action's new Conference Liturgy Coordinator, Don Pribor, shares with us a song of Thanksgiving. Written by the great Chilean song writer Violeta Parra, “Gracias a la Vida” celebrates life and gives thanks for its gifts.

Thanks to life that has given me so much

It has given me laughter and it has given me tears

In this way I am able to distinguish happiness from grief

The two materials that make up my song

And your song which is the same song

And everyone's song which is my own song.

Thanks to life, thanks to life.

Gracias a la vida que me ha dado tanto

Me ha dado la risa y me ha dado el llanto

Asi yo distingo dicha de quebranto

Los dos materiales que forman mi canto

Y el canto de ustedes que es el mismo canto

Y el canto de todos que es mi propio canto

Gracias a la vida , gracias a la vida

.Let us give thanks this season for all the ways God's abundant life in us blesses our family, friends, and communities.Happy Thanksgiving!
