This Thursday, I am thankful for independence. Not the nationalistic sort, but the many gifts I've been given to allow me to live independently. I can travel freely, care for myself, and make my own decisions. Truly, a blessing!
Independence should not be confused with a freedom from responsibility. Indeed, I'll argue the opposite in the case. Being truly independent, that is, not reliant on others, also means having responsibility for your actions.
How can this blessing be used to help others? Perhaps by sharing it with others. Helping others - offering a ride, teachingor tutoring, and even just listening. After all, with today's thanksgiving, you're celebrating the ability to decide to help!
