Happy Thankanukkah -Give Thanks

With so many people to thank on this day we often forget to thank the one who matters most.

Mrs. Ramrattan was in a particularly thankful mood as Thanksgiving approached and so when her Pea Pod deliver of bread came Mrs. Satchwell thanked Tom, the grocery boy, for delivering the bread. "Do not thank me. Thank Grocer Jones," Tom smiled. "He gave me the bread to deliver."

But when she thanked the grocer, he said, "I get the bread from Baker Brown. He makes it, so he deserves the thanks." So Mrs. Green thanked the baker. But he told her that Miller Samaroo should be given the gratitude. "Without Miller Samaroo’s flour, I could not make bread," Brown replied.

The miller told her to thank Farmer Satchwell because he made the flour from Satchwell’s wheat. But the farmer also protested, "Don’t thank me; thank God," Satchwell said. "If He did not give my farm sunshine and rain, I could not grow wheat."

Yes, even a common loaf of bread can be traced back to God, the Giver of "every good and perfect gift" So give Thanks to God!
