Happy Thanksgiving!
I'll admit I'm one that has never appreciated Thanksgiving on a very deep level. Sure, I'm thankful for the people in my life, the opportunities and advantages I've had, my wife and family, dogs, ninja skills, etc. BUT... Shouldn't I always be thankful for those things? Being thankful one day a year isn't enough for all the blessings I've been given, right? Thanking God is kind of one of the things people of faith are supposed to do. Or, at least there are enough references in the Bible to lead one to that conclusion. So what's the big deal with having a holiday?
Don't get me wrong, I love Thanksgiving. I love just about everything about it- food, family, football (preferably of the Hog variety), and kitchy videos like the one below. Its probably my favorite holiday next to Christmas. However, what if we could make the holiday something more. What if we used Thanksgiving and the time surrounding it as an opportunity to give someone else something to be thankful for?
