give thanks

As I prepare for the American tradition of Thanksgiving with my family, I'm mindful of those in the US and elsewhere that are not able to share this kind of celebration because of their poverty. Whether it's someone who is struggling financially in these difficult economic times or someone who has been homeless for sometime or even someone in a developing society who lives their whole life in hunger and poverty, may each of us take the opportunity to be kind to someone in need as part of our celebration.
