All Saints' Day

Today was All Saints' Sunday in the church calendar. That is the Anglican and Catholic church calendar's. Not in the Presbyterian which saddens me for the few days a year that I can actually be considered a Presbyterian . . . Anyways, the point of that is that there are apparently a lot more saints than I had even realized there were. Given that saints are not a part of the tradition I was raised with, they still fascinate me. There was also a really good sermon this morning on them.
The basic idea of the sermon is that saints are not born saints. They are not some mystical people who never have to deal with any problems. They are ordinary people who weep, bleed, mourn and love as we do. They are ordinary people. They are simply ordinary people who do extraordinary things with strength of character and virtue.
In holding with that definition of saints, how many saints do you know? And when was the last time you said thank you for them being a part of your life?
