Happy Thanksgiving!

I was talking today with a little 3rd grader whose family is currently calling a shelter home, and she was telling me all for which she had to be thankful... a young girl, sleeping in a shelter, said that she was thankful for "too many things to be able to tell you," but she did manage to list her family, a place to sleep at night, a building to protect her, people who love her, God who made Pluto (and she also mentioned that she learned in school that Pluto is no longer a planet)...

so today, we all are blessed beyond belief... from a pillow on a bed to the orbitting masses in the sky... and how awesome it is that a 3rd grader who has every reason to feel that she hasn't been given much of anything realizes those blessings.
