Giving Thanks To The Right Person, Place Or Thing...or

It is Thanksgiving Day and boy do I have a house full of reasons to give thanks, seventeen Bensons half of whom are children and three dogs all under one big top.  The question struck me this morning, who am I giving thanks to in this Thanks-giving Day?  I could give thanks to all these adult Bensons, including myself for making all these other Benson humans.  I could give thanks to the Utility Company for making heat, electricity, and water to keep us all comfortable.  I could give thanks to the dirt, which grew all the food we are going to eat today.  I could even give the sun thanks for still being there when my part of the earth rotated back around to face it so that day could begin for without it there’s no day for Thanksgiving day to…well you get the point.  Giving grateful thanks is one of the greatest gifts we give ourselves…as long as we are giving it to the right person, place or thing…or God.
