Here in America, the greatest country in the world this side of heaven, however, we pause annually to count our blessings. There are always some to count in America, the foremost being our Nation itself.

“Living, dying and doing business by the motto, “Everything should taste like bacon,” the founders of J&D Foods have turned their passion for pork fat into greenbacks with products like baconnaise, bacon pop, bacon lip balm and bacon-flavored envelopes. […] As much as the pair joke, one thing they are serious about is supporting the troops and they do so through Operation Bacon Salt, whereby they sent packages of bacon salt to the men and women in uniform overseas to not only provide them with flavoring for their MRE’s but also to give them a slice of home in Muslim countries where pig products are verboten. Ecsh explains they got the idea when they received an e-mail from a soldier asking what it took to get the product sent to Iraq.”

While atrocities abound all around, including here at home, Americans can, and hopefully most do, take great comfort in knowing that for over two centuries we have persevered to better times.
The Prophet Moses conveyed from the God of Abraham (who was the progenitor of the world's Jews, Christians and Muslims) the concept of hope for a better future. And America was created and continues to be sustained by that concept.
Happy Thanksgiving, all y'all.
