On Thankfulness

Thankfulness is something on every American's mind this week. But what does it really mean?

Thankfulness is an attitude that comes from the understanding that we are not alone, that the things we need and the things we want do not all come from inside us. Thankfulness is the understanding that we have received help to get where we are today. Thankfulness is a willingness to admit this and allow it to humble us.

Being thankful, truly thankful requires that we set aside our ego and admit that we cannot do it alone.
