Thought For The Day
Thanksgiving or Thanksliving
by

Thanksgiving has always been for me a time to be thankful for all the blessings in my life.

But how do we live thanksgiving? I found the answer to that question in an article written by Wilferd A. Peterson called, The Art of Thanksgiving. In this article he talks about acts of thanksliving. To quote from this piece, Mr Peterson writes:

"The art of thanksgiving is thanksliving. It is gratitude in action. It is applying Albert Schweitzer's philosophy: 'In gratitude for your own good fortune you must render in return some sacrifice of your life for the other life.'"

The article goes on to give examples of what how we could live in a thanksliving way:

- By living your life triumphantly

- By being grateful for all who have helped you by you doing things for others

- By striving to make others happy

- By helping to be an inspiration to others

- By living each day to the fullest

- By using your talents and obligations to be invested for the common good

- By facing the challenges of life as a challenge for achievement

- By enjoying what you have and sharing it with others

Thanksgiving is a time to be thankful for all we have,
but thanksliving is a way of life that if implemented could improve the quality of life not only for you and me, but for others. Do you live in a thanks giving way?
