Good Morning,

This Thursday is Thanksgiving.  A day, for many of us, of food, football, football and food. We, for the most part take both the day and everything we have for granted.

The year was 1621, the first Thanksgiving where the Pilgrims and the Indians around them celebrated a successful harvest.  They had very little, especially compared to today. They were thankful to have food to live on the table and for having lived through the difficulties in the new world a whole year.

Let us take a few moments to give thanks, both to our creator who gave us our opportunities, talents and abilities as well as all of those individuals who, through the generations since then, have made lives better and better allowing us to live where we do and how we do.  This isn't true in most parts of the world where suffering and oppression run rampant.
