[Fuusm-l] Daily Meditation Offering Tues. 11/24/20

[revkat at suddenlinkmail.com]

Giving Tuesday is a reminder that we can promote and support many good causes and programs in our community and in the wider world.
I am a resister- "Black Friday" is also known as "Buy Nothing Day."
This is an opportunity to put our money toward what we value most.

READING  (Communion Grace from Earth Prayers)
	Eternal Spirit of Justice and Love,
At this time of Thanksgiving we would be aware of our
dependence on the earth and on the sustaining presence of other
human beings both living and gone before us.
	As we partake of bread and wine, may we remember that
there are many for whom sufficient bread is a luxury, 
or for whom wine, when attainable, is only an escape.
Let our thanksgiving for Life’s bounty include a commitment 
to changing the world, that those who are now hungry may be filled
and those without hope may be given courage.	Amen.
(Congregation of Abraxas)

Rebecca Phillips shared a resource from the Episcopal Church on Writing an Effective Public Comment for the Arctic Refuge Lease Sales.

It is more than public opinion- it is strategic organizing and democracy in action.
