Thanks

As the Thanksgiving season rolls around once again, I've been thinking of some of the things that I'm personally thankful for.

I'm thankful to live in a country where we stand in line for a chance to buy an unneccessary video game system for $600, rather than standing in line hoping to be served a hot meal.

I'm thankful that we have the opportunity to complain that the heat is on too high, rather than freezing to death like so many do every night.

I'm thankful that I have the ability to spend my time furthering my education instead of working in a sweat shop making less than $5 a day.

I'm thankful that the hardest decision that I have to make is what I want to eat today, rather than wondering if I'll have enough to eat today.

I'm thankful that I'm constantly surrounded by the people I love, instead of writing to them from a war trench.

I'm thankful that no matter how greedy and selfish we are throughout our lives, God doesn't hesitate to give us all the love and grace that none of us deserve.

Not only during the fourth Thursday of November, but throughout every day of our lives, each of us should truly count all of our blessings.

Mr. Brian
