May each and everyone of you enjoy this, my favorite holiday of all...Thanksgiving.

For me, at least, living in America is reason enough to be thankful. Enjoy Family (especially grandchildren), is an added bonus.

Almost every time I walk into a supermarket, I am in humble awe. Even a little guilt. Fresh, out-of-season produce spilling over the edges. Shelves with anything you can imagine filled to capacity. Gluttony but for the fact this is usual. We are used to abundance. We are America. Then I read what it is like in Haiti, the Sudan, and other countries. Starvation kills more people in this world then all the gun violence and disease. I pick up a ripe tomato, give it a little squeeze, and then put it in my basket--and a third of the world is envious. We do not know want. That is good, of course. And may it continue. Yet we need to take these things as gifts from God. Undeserved. Stridently grateful for our plenty. On our knees we live in this great nation.
