“It’s not happy people who are thankful, but thankful people who are happy.” – Anonymous
Wanda Dench texted an invitation to Thanksgiving dinner to someone she thought was her grandson. The problem was that her grandson had changed his number and neglected to tell her. So, the text went to another young man, 17-year-old Jamal Hinton. The two figured out the mistake quickly, but Hinton asked if he could “still get a plate.” In grandmotherly fashion, Dench responded, “Of course you can. That’s what grandmas do.” When young Jamal was asked about the Thanksgiving dinner later, he said, “I’m thankful for all the nice people in the world. I had never met her, and she welcomed me into her home, so that shows how great of a person she is.”
May our Thanksgiving be transformed into Thanksliving as we share God’s blessings with others.
