This video is from Christian comics, The Skit Guys. What are you thankful for?
In addition, I have an article I wrote on The Power of Thank You to read through on this Thanksgiving Week! Enjoy and Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!

It's very important to focus on being thankful to God for what He has provided in our lives as every good and precious thing comes from Him.
