WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO HAVE A GRATEFUL HEART

thread
THANKS FOR FAVORITE CONNE... THANKS FOR FAVORITE CONNECTIONS
This THANKSGIVING 2017 morning I am listening to the story about the North Korean that escaped into South Korea a few days ago. He knew the risk, was shot several times, and was desperate for freedom. I am also listening to the stories about refugees here in America who are being organized to have a Thanksgiving dinner with families who are willing to take them in for the day.

The idea is to share with these immigrants what it means to be American. I am third generation American with Japanese Heritage. My neighbor is first generation English. They came for work, but choose to stay in America. Another neighbor may be a third or fourth generation Irish and a third may be third generation Jewish. We all have a heritage of overcoming hardships.

What I see are the “young” who no longer appreciate what it means to be GRATEFUL for what we have. It is like it is their job to complain. Reporters have to come up with emotional topics to get attention. I also want to write something that will get attention. Gratitude needs more oomph!

HOW DO WE PRESERVE THE REFUGEE/IMMIGRANT SPIRIT AND GRATITUDE FOR FREEDOM?
