Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving, after all, is a word of action. Perhaps it takes a purer faith to praise God for unrealized blessings than for those we once enjoyed or those we enjoy now. God has two dwellings, one in heaven and the other in a meek and thankful heart.

Thanksgiving is the time for family to get together and give thanks for each and everyone in your life. We all have something and some one to be thankful for.
