Good Morning,
This past Thursday was Thanksgiving. I hope it was indeed a day of being thankful for all that we have been blessed with. Yes, it should be more than a parade, football and eating way too much.
We all live in a time and country where nearly everyone has everything they need and most of what they want. This is far different from the first Thanksgiving celebration where the Pilgrims gave thanks for living through the year and a harvest giving them sufficient food to last them through the approaching cold winter.
Why is it in this time of plenty, we spend so much time complaining about what we don't have and what we can not get others to do for us. Remember, we live in a society made up of people. When we work together for a common goal, we can do much. When we break down into individuals fighting for what we each want with no concern for others and complaining all the way, nothing gets accomplished.
Let us all be thankful for the life we have been given and all of the blessings we have received along the way. Every time we think about complaining, stop. We live in a great country at a great time in civilization. Give thanks.
Jim
