I like getting a good deal. In fact, if I am not careful I might spend more in gas to drive across town to save a few cents on some item I need to purchase.
There is nothing wrong with getting a good deal. There is nothing wrong with shopping for bargains. Many will do that today. But it seems like a day of gratefulness is eclipsed by a day of greed.
"Black Friday" is apparently more popular than Thanksgiving. I did a Google search on "Black Friday" and in .27 seconds Google told me there were 1,860,000,000 sites that were waiting for the click of my mouse. "Thanksgiving" only brought up 115,000,000 sites for my perusal. Something just doesn't seem right about that.
Are we living in a day where the majority of people are more greedy than grateful?
So, get a good deal if you can today. Enjoy the hustle and bustle of the crowds if that is what you like. Just don't let greed rob you of your gratefulness - it will if you let it.
I think I am going to celebrate "Blessed Friday" today; I'll let others have their Black Friday.
