Thanksgiving Day is upon us.
Well, maybe for the Americans. I think us Britons are looking forward more to Black Friday than Thanksgiving.
However, what is stopping us from being thankful? Gratefulness is not just one for the Americans after all.
Be thankful for your health. No matter what health issues you have, there is always someone out there who is worse than you. For example, think of all the children with life threatening illnesses, Better yet, think of all the children and their families who are dealing with these problems and have no support. No matter what age you are, be thankful you are alive and healthy.
Be thankful for your families. Some families only see each other one time a year, while others have gatherings several times a year. Having family members who get along with each other is a blessing in itself. Be thankful for families, who can come together, especially during the holidays, have dinner and conversations without fighting. There are many families who do not desire to have holiday gatherings. Be very thankful for the loving family you have.
Be thankful for the food on your plate. There are millions of people starving this November and will continue to starve for the coming year. In fact, just today, it is estimated that 21,000 people died from hunger.
Although we might not celebrate Thanksgiving in the UK, take at least a minute today to be thankful for everything good in your life.
