Where is the thanks???

Today is Thanksgiving and I can not help but wonder where the thank you is??? TV is filled with Black Friday specials and door busters. No one on TV has stopped to say thank you to the soliders. Oprah gave praise and thanks on her show but so far that is it. The talk is more troops, the couple who crashed the state dinner and how to prepare turkey. What about the folks who don't have anything to eat today! What about the family that is dealing with the loss of a love one! What about the lonely people who have no where to go today.

Today is about giving thanks for all that we have in our lives. The good and the bad. The more and the less. Give thanks for this moment, the past and the future. So stop and take the time before we all get caught up in the madness of the holiday (black Friday, door busters and Christmas gifts) and say thank you. Then a thank you to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Without his sacrifice all that we have or accomplish would not have been possible.
