Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving is this Thursday and as usual we are going to think about the things we are thankful for. Let us begin at the beginning. It was originally a religious holiday thanking God for the Pilgrims surviving their first year in Plymouth Colony. They shared the meal with those who in large part helped them survive that year: the Indians. They feasted probably for days more like a festival than a banquet that we know it as.

We may not be going home this year, but we may as well, and either way, be thankful for every little thing. It is a Holy Day because God gave us those things that we are thankful for. That's all I think needs to be said since we all know what Thanksgiving is about.
