The grace to see things right

Gratitude is the right approach to life; those who live gratefully develop an appreciative attitude towards everyone and everything around them, beginning with the Good Lord. God is the first to whom we owe a debt of gratitude. Thanksgiving is a vivid reminder that our nation has been abundantly blessed by a Creator who is a loving Father. The observance of this national day of turning towards God is a defining aspect of our national attitude. We are a grateful people who understand our blessings to be gifts from above—or at least we are taught to be such.
