Seth Leibsohn: In Gratitude

Friday, November 28, 2025

It’s been said that gratitude is the mother of all virtue and ingratitude the father of all vice. We do well to reflect on that this Thanksgiving.

We find ourselves in a social and political moment of great self-importance attached to impatience, and an inability to recognize the wisdom of others. We have example after example where ego trumps reason—and “my truth” is preferred over the truth itself. With our political tendencies trending toward the extremes, we diminish the greatest set of social relations ever gifted, as they were by our Founding and Constitution.

This Thanksgiving, on the eve of our nation’s 250th anniversary, let’s consider a prayer at our tables for our country and those who delivered us such a great gift with their lives, fortunes and sacred honor.

Let’s giving thanks for those who gave us so much.

Let’s give thanks to the God who showed His hand behind it all.

On behalf of Salem Media, I’m Seth Leibsohn wishing you a very Happy Thanksgiving!
