The media seems hell bent on telling us that we have little for which to be thankful. I heartily disagree. I’m healthy (relatively), happy, loved, in love, free (relatively), have a full belly, have a roof over my head, get to watch the Cowboys win, get to watch the Lions lose, have a great job, get to spend time with family, am saved by my Lord, and on and on and on. Every year I have so much to be thankful for that I can scarcely stay awake while lying on the couch watching football.
For what are you thankful?
Everything he said. Couldn’t have said it better Owen!

Also what Owen said, except the football stuff.

Posted by on November 27, 2008 at 2318 hrsI’m thankful I had clients, lots of blogs to comment on and lots of friends I can run to, and the best is my pet dog… I’m thankful I always see his wiggling tail.

Posted by hsgbdmama on November 28, 2008 at 1255 hrsIs the media truly “hell bent” on convincing us we have nothing to be grateful for? Why? Because they’re reporting on the worst economic situation we’ve seen since the Great Depression? That’s hardly a reason to get all hostile on them for their ungratefulness.

Posted by jimi on November 28, 2008 at 2200 hrsDitto Owen’s list...with the following modifications:
1. I get to watch the Packers win.
2. I get to watch the Packers lose, and still like them.
I’m thankful for my parents who took the time and expense to ensure that I had a good education and moral upbringing so that I can truly understand and appreciate what it means to be thankful.
I’m also thankful for the freedom to pass on those same lessons to my children (albeit at my own time and expense because of the dismal public school system.)
