3 Key Points:
  1. Thanksgiving should NOT be the only time we are grateful for what we have.
  2. Share the blessings that you have to the needy\u2014and remember, it doesn\u2019t always have to be in the form of money!
  3. A life without a dream, desire, or purpose lacks meaning. Start finding your WHY.
