Being Thankful For The Little Things
As we sit around the table today with our family and friends we will give thanks for the people around us and the food on our plates. My question is why do we wait until Thanksgiving to give thanks? Giving thanks for those we love, those that love us and the fact that we have food to eat etc… should be a daily occurrence.
There are so many people without food and families in this world right now that giving thanks for what we normally take for granted to me seems a bit shallow. We are living in a world full of wars, economic crisis and violence so what do we have to be thankful for? Just the fact that we awake in the morning. The fact that nature has provided a warming sun, a cool rain, trees, flowers, birds and the list goes on and on. We take all these things for granted yet they are what we should be thankful for on a daily basis.
For those we love and those who love us tell them how much you care all through the year. Show them you care with kindness and support. Do not wait for one day out of the year to be thankful. Show your gratitude and love each and everyday.
