We have been well taught to be greedy and grasping. We are bombarded by commercials which remind us of what we do not have. Christmas becomes a depressing time for many. We are led to believe that if we do not have things we will not experience happiness. And so we are unhappy people.
Most unhappy people are unthankful people.
At first glance, you may think them unthankful because they are unhappy. That is not true. In fact, the opposite is true. They are not unthankful because they are unhappy, but they are unhappy because they are unthankful. Thanksgiving has the power to transform us into different people.
