Reflect On What We Have
As we enter this season of Thanksgiving, we have much to be grateful for. In this week’s episode of FatherSide Chats, Reflect On What We Have, Father Gene discusses not just understanding what it takes to be grateful, but he also suggests beginning with giving thanks for the gifts that we haven't worked for.
Loneliness touches everyone at times, but it doesn’t have to have the final word. Father Gene reflects on how purposeful gathering—small, intentional moments of connection—can grow into real community, offering space to listen, share, laugh, and walk through life together.
Some lessons arrive softly, reminding us that caring for others begins with caring for ourselves. Father Gene shares why creating sacred space for “me” isn’t selfish—it’s essential—and how learning to say “I can’t” can become an act of love.
