There is something healthy about giving thanks. It should be more than a "once a year" event. Do we give thanks in the ordinary, the everyday aspects of our lives, not just the big things? "Give thanks with a grateful heart, give thanks to the Holy One," not just for everything but in everything. Being thankful everyday gives us a whole different attitiude to our lives. God is first. God is in charge. God wants us to focus on the abundance of everyday. Set aside some time to give thanks for the small blessings from God.
