...Imagine that your entire life is a big, personally designed, packaged gift from God. Maybe you have a lot of fun toys in your gift, or maybe some bits of challenging coal here and there. Maybe the percentages of toys to coal really do depend on whether you've been naughty or nice in the past, or perhaps it's just the luck of the draw. Maybe some items that appear as lumps of coal are really the best gifts, and vice versa.

Regardless of how many blessings you are able to count in your life, the truth is that if you are able to read or hear this book, then you already have much to be thankful for. If you have education, along with freedom of thought, speech, and religion, if you have shelter and enough food to eat for the next several days, then you are far more blessed than many who live right here, on our planet, today.
