Tis the season to be thankful

This month it seems like facebook is a buzz with the 30 days or thanksgiving or being thankful through the alphabet. All of that is well and good but I wonder if it is how the first settlers ever envisioned thanksgiving going down. I know that Christ wants us to show our thanks in all that we do and I hope that the message that others see in me is one of continual thanksgiving. The greatest gift that we have been given was for Christ to die on the cross for our sins, how often do I forget to stop and say thank you to Christ, to God, for the gift they have given me, forgiveness of my sins.
