Unusual Things to Be Thankful For

It’s Thanksgiving Day in America. Here are
some things to add as you count your blessings.

Sad? Depressed? Angry? Indifferent? Bored? Lonely? Fearful? Worried? Anxious? Or just at a loss for things to be thankful for? From our archives, you can thank your Maker for these blessings.

Even with all the troubles in the world, we have far more reasons than needed to be thankful this season. Happy Thanksgiving from CEH!
