Rev. Jim Holland (Washington, DC)

“At Thanksgiving, I think we can all be grateful for things in our own way. However, I suspect that for most people, being grateful is a universal experience. There are some people that will talk about how they are thankful for relationships with friends and family, and some that will maybe talk about being grateful for more material aspects of their lives. I think there are other things we should all be grateful for and never take for granted, such as living somewhere safe and comfortable. It's good to be grateful for these things because we tend to take them for granted, and I think being grateful for those aspects of our lives also makes us aware that not everyone has the same things that we do and how fortunate we are.”
