Thanksgiving

This is Thanksgiving Day in Canada. I can give thanks for many things - a good wife and loving family, comfortable home, peaceful neighbourhood, good health. But to whom should I give thanks? The idea, I think, is that God should be thanked. That's fine by me - if God has favoured me thus, I thank Him from the bottom of my heart. I wonder, however, why He would choose me over the folks in New Orleans, or the victims of the tsunami, or the victims of the Pakistani earthquake, or the folks in Iraq? Surely I'm not that special. Maybe I'm just lucky so far and there will be an Act of God, as it's called, just waiting for me.
