Thanksgiving 2010

Today is Thanksgiving Day in the United States. It’s a day set aside for giving thanks for the many blessing we have received. Many families will gather together, many good times will be shared, and many meals will be consumed.

But there are people who don’t have families with whom to gather together, who are suffering hardships and having trouble making ends meet, and are cold and hungry. Think about these people. While there are some people that you just can’t help, there are many, many more you can. Find a way to help others as you recoginize all the blessings you have received.

And don’t forget to give thanks for what you have. Don’t worry about what you don’t have. The Good Lord has been very kind and gracious to use, allowing us to reap the benefits of living in the United States of America. Let’s don’t lose sight of that fact.
