A number of people on my Facebook are posting something they’re thankful for every day. I’ve seen a lot of “I’m thankful for pandora radio” or “I’m thankful for Starbucks” … stuff that feels really petty. I’m thankful the Native Americans we stole this land from didn’t kill our ancestors, even though they (probably) deserved it.
What happened to giving thanks for the things that really mattered? Why do we need one day out of the year to express that thankfulness?
