Thankfulness - a Daily Ritual
November 23, 2009
The official U.S. holiday of "Thanksgiving" serves as a reminder to all of us that we need to be thankful for all the blessings we receive. Hopefully we are continuously expressing our gratitude for family, friends, health and the nature that surrounds us. With all the hype about "turkey day" and "black Friday", the real meaning for having a "Thanksgiving Day" seems sometimes to be forgotten.
The early settlers who got together were celebrating their survival for a year in a strange environment amongst strangers who looked different and spoke a different language. For the first thanksgiving feast, all were included and all shared what they had.
The sharing is an important element in Century 21 Lois Lauer Realty's preparations for the holidays. Food for the Family Service Association has long been a tradition for our agents. We sponsor the collection of items for the troops for "Operation Gratitude". It is great that we have an official reminder of giving thanks, but perhaps each day we could find someone to thank.
The new motto for many organizations is "Give What You Can". We are thankful that we have something to give.
