Never before has it been so easy to count my blessings on Thanksgiving than this year.
In the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy, I am well aware of all the goodness in my life and all the suffering that exists in the lives of others. I have a warm home, plenty of food, my health, and a loving family. I have sisters who I know would walk through fields of fire for me and friends who would give me the shirts off of their backs.
Why would I want anything more?
Well, I don't. Not for me anyway. If I want for more, I am wanting for those who have not to have. I am hoping for those who are ill to be well again. For those who are without a home to once again know that comfort of a warm home.
This Thanksgiving, I am grateful for all the little things that add up to a great amount. May be you be as blessed and thankful as I am.
Happy Thanksgiving, friends.
