Being Thankful

In this day and age, I find that people aren't as thankful as they used to be. It's bustle and hustle from day to day and there isn't any genuine thankfulness for others anymore. It's just me, me, me.

We have selfies, text messages, facetime, and Instagram. We are always looking down at a screen, whether we are hanging with friends or driving a car.

That's why this book is so refreshing for children in this generation. This generation of children are born with screens. It's all about self, self, self. If I'm happy, that's all that matters.
