Give Thanks

Tomorrow is Thanksgiving, and we'll all spend time with our friends and families stuffing ourselves with far more food than our bodies were ever meant to hold and watching not nearly enough football. And, perhaps, in the midst of it all, we'll take a moment to "be thankful" by mentioning one thing we're thankful for or by offering a prayer of thanks. I wonder though, how many of us will truly be thankful tomorrow for all the blessings we have. We are so blessed! We are the wealthiest people to ever walk the face of the planet. We have more amenities, we have more possessions, we have fewer needs...and yet even on the one day we set aside each year for "Thanksgiving," we often give very little thanks. Remember tomorrow to take at least a couple minutes by yourself to thank God for all He's done for you. Really we should do that every day--the awareness of our blessings would make us happier people--but at least on Thanksgiving, let us pause to speak our gratitude to the Giver of all.
