Properly Grateful…Joy of Giving
I like to think that I count my blessings every day, not just on Thanksgiving Day. This year, I've had numerous occasions to reflect on the manifest blessings in my life, and my country. I was fortunate to be born in the United States of America, which has, since its founding in the 18th Century, …
