How much gratitude do you have?
Some of the commercials on television catch my attention but most of them do not. One that really stuck with me was when a young lady was leaving for college and her dad was telling her goodbye. The young lady jumped into the car with her friend and started driving off when suddenly, the car stopped, and the young lady jumped out and ran back to her dad and gave him a tremendous hug. She, with tears in her eyes, told him, “Thanks Dad for everything”. The advertisement was about gratitude and the meaning was incredibly significant to anyone who views it.
