Many Thanksgiving Day celebrations undoubtedly involve precious little thankfulness,much less
giving thanks. For many the holiday has become known as Turkey Day,characterized more by
gluttony than gratitude.People in poor,undeveloped countries look on the United States as incredibly rich and very self-indulgent instead of thankful for its abundance,comforts and
conveniences. Gratitude is the mother of all virtues. Thankfulness tends to be passive.Thanksgiving is active. Thanks are something that need to be given away-making everyone richer. Note that the national holiday Americans celebrate is called Thanksgiving Day,
not Be Thankful Day. We should make it a habit to thank God,daily.When we do we are sure to be happier people.Oh,yes and each other on the daily. The Bible tell us how we're to be,thankful.
Psalm 100:v4 ,Enter into His gates with thanksgiving,And into His courts with praise. Be thankful to Him,and bless His name. Psalm:95v2,Let us come before His presence with thanksgiving;Let us shout joyfully to Him with psalms.Philippians C-4:v6,Be anxious for nothing,but in everything by prayer and supplication,with thanksgiving,let your requests be made known to God.
