Thanksgiving. A curious American (and a wee bit earlier in the year, Canadian) event. A day to eat Turkey, watch the Macy's parade on TV and give thanks. I deliberately left the "thanks" to the end of the list (and perhaps I am being cynical), but, the "thanks" part of the day seems to be an after thought in the day. As this is my first Thanksgiving as an "American" I want to spend a few minutes giving thanks, especially after what has been a trying few weeks...

I am thankful for...

• My wonderful wife and family
• So many great friends around the world
• For all the opportunities that I have been given in life
• For the chance to say thanks.
  
• For the Sacrifice of Christ on the Cross
