Happy Thanksgiving. 403 years ago, our Pilgrims, along with a host of Native Americans, had a celebration to give thanks to the Christian God for providing for them in the New World. Stories vary in detail but not in celebration. It was a three-day thanks giving for a good harvest. They had prepared the soil, planted, and, as all farmers know, God brought fruit to their labors that they harvested and put up. Today, most of us neither prepare, plant, or harvest but will enjoy the good fruits God has provided. Do not allow yourself to be dull, the harvest is vast and plentiful for which we did little. A good heart, open mind, and attentive senses will always lead to thanksgiving. Thanksgiving is us giving thanks. To Whom will you give your thanks today?
