Thanksgiving is celebrated by many across this great country as a time of feasting, spending money at big box stores and watching football.

Are we really thankful for what has been given to us by God? I am, but for the other people in this land the answer is no.

As we approach the Christmas season, let's remember the reason we give presents is because God gave us his son as the greatest of all.
