Even though Africa doesnt celebrate Thanksgiving the way the Americans do, Africans in general have a great capacity to be grateful for the things they have. They realize the truth in Luke 12:15 that life does not consist of the abundance of things we possess. A grateful person is rich in contentment. An ungrateful person suffers in the poverty of endless discontentment. (David A. Bednar) Would that all Americans, indeed all people, be grateful for the things we have rather than be discontent with the things we dont have. Happy Thanksgiving to all, and may every day be a day of giving thanks.
