Oh my gosh, YES, we have so much to be thankful for. Our life and the abundance of blessings. I am reminded every day when I climb into bed how blessed I am. Food, shelter, love, nature, our health if we have it, none can be taken for granted. The twist at the end was so sad...maybe his family is gone? He wants to be married? Sad.
The video is unavailable. However, with the topic of "What reasons do you have to be thankful" I have a lot of to be thankful. The list is long but most importantly, I am thankful that I am a christian, I see many things that a none christian don't see. I am thankful God has chosen me. Thank you God.
It is interesting that one of my favorite passages in scripture Phil. 4:6 states "Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God." In this verse it says when feeling anxious and praying to God, that one should remember to be thankful when making a request. How often do I leave out this important element. Perhaps realizing and finding reasons to be thankful might result in less anxiety and a more grateful heart instead.
I am thankful for so many things: my wife, my children, my job, a safe country to live in, a beautiful place to live, my health and God's love every day.
