innumerable blessings. According to custom, they offer thanks for their family,
spouse, children and health. You may teach your children to appreciate all the
good things in their lives and be thankful for them, by holding a family
discussion for a few minutes, where each member of the household enumerates
things for which they are thankful, and then worship together. After all this,
people usually wish 'Happy Thanksgiving' to their family members, relatives and
friends.
