Thankful on Thanksgiving

I met the coolest mom and daughter today. Five weeks ago they were like most people, comfortably moving along in life, then mom lost her job and they became homeless. Mom looked for work by day, and by night, slept in airport termimals and a hospital emergency room waiting area. Tonight, they're spending their first full night back in their apartment and, as you might imagine, thankful for all the people who helped them get there. The generosity of others is always something to be grateful for. When things are going good, it's easy to take things for granted. After listening to their inspiring story, I will count my blessings more often. I know this, but I'll strive to be more aware that Thanksgiving isn't the only day to be thankful.
