To the Editor:

Rich or poor, how many thankful people have you ever met who start from the place of scarcity? Precious few, I bet. Because scarcity thinking is most often rooted in fear. The thankful people I have known are rooted in, or at least associated with, hope. Since their God can do a “new thing” (Isaiah 43:19), even in lean or dire circumstances, they are able to see potential for a new beginning.

Thanksgiving living is born through those who sow seeds of hope by doing for others.
