Thoughts of Thanksgiving

Teachers (and students) relish vacations, such as the week of Thanksgiving, where a tiny break in the action is given to get some much needed "RRR" (Rest, Relax, and to Recover). Teachers need breaks, just as students do, but why do we really stop and take two days this week?

Its because we are thankful, or at least should be. As a nation, we are blessed!! We have more "_______" (you fill in the blank) than any nation, or people group, yet often we feel as if our "blessedness" is deserved, rather than having a sense of appreciation for what we have received. Genuine thankfulness is sometimes hard to come by in people.

What are you thankful for? (Save the pat canned answers please)
