November Thanksgiving Narrative
Often during trying and difficult times, it is hard to decide when to be thankful. Instead of having a cup ‘½ full’, it is looked upon as ‘½ empty’. People are losing their jobs, their homes, and even a comfortable existence is withering away for some. It is difficult to be positive when so many are struggling.         
Amid daily struggles and duties, an occasion for gratitude seems hard to find. These struggles are pressing financial needs, urgent family problems, personal sorrows or concerns. People may feel empty, weary, even isolated. Practicing thankfulness, even in difficult times, is one of the most powerful ways to bring about a change in one’s circumstances.
