Let us be thankful for the smallest things: sunshine, food, clean water, and our easy lives.  For as caught up in the modern world we are, it is the modern world, and life has never been as easy and comfortable and predictable as it is at this moment.  So be thankful, and work to sustain and improve this world, that future generations will be thankful of us.  For modern convenience we give thanks.  Blessed Be, and Amen.
