there are hundreds of millions of people who have it worse than us!  Be thankful to God for allowing you to do what you can do, having what you have, and sparing you from the suffering that others must endure. For the
ingrate who ignorantly says "I have nothing to be thankful for", remind him/her that they have much to be grateful for. 

       HAPPY THANKSGIVING & GOD BLESS!!!
