Sometimes God gives us lessons in gratitude in unlikely places and even from unlikely people. Several years ago, I was dining in a local pizza restaurant with my husband, daughter, son-in-law, and two grandchildren, ages five and seven. The restaurant was busy, and the children were restless for the pizza to arrive. In an effort to entertain them and focus on something else, my daughter suggested we go around the table, and all say something we were thankful for. After all, it was the week of Thanksgiving. Our responses were typical and certainly sincere: thankful for our family, thankful for the autumn colors outside, thankful for the food that would be arriving soon, thankful for good health.
