As the third Thursday in November rolls around each year, we are told we should be thankful. The very name of the holiday implies gratitude- Thanksgiving. The first Thanksgiving was celebrated to give thanks to God for bringing a new people to the land we now know as America and through a very harsh first year. They were helped out by a people who were different from them, but yet not so very different. America is made up of many diverse people of various backgrounds, countries of origin, and ways to celebrate life. This year think about who you are thankful to and for. Gather around the table and be thankful. Life is short, don't reserve Thanksgiving for one day a year- practice ThanksLIVING every day.
