What Giving Thanks Really Means

Yesterday on the evening before Thanksgiving Day, I was in the local supermarket in Ann Arbor MI, picking up a few groceries. I saw a man who was clearly well off, judging from the bling watch and rings on his finger. He looked like a former professional athlete and he was there shopping with 2 or 3 other men who looked like they were homeless or clearly destitute. They were also picking up groceries, talking and laughing. It warmed my heart so much - because that's exactly what Thanksgiving is about.

I am thankful that those men are going to be well fed for another night; thankful that there are people in this World committed to helping others; and I am thankful for the reminder that it was to me, that part of my personal mission is to help people in need, and I have been really bad about doing it this year.

I really enjoyed your describtion of the scene in the supermarket. I am thankful to see, that more people are choosing to do something, anything they can to make other peoples lives more enjoyable whenever they can.
Every little bit helps. And you are doing your part by raising awareness.

Happy Thanksgiving!
