Thanksgiving. The holiday in which we give thanks to the good Lord that he led us to this great land of freedom. A land where we have freedom of religion, freedom of speech, and freedom to pursue happiness.
It is a day of no work, no mail, and turkey. It is a day "stuffed" with reminders of those long-ago times when our forefathers were helped by the Indians, who are presently living on reservations as a token of our appreciation. It is a day set aside for thanks, so that during the rest of the year, we can go about our lives without giving a thought to the gift of thankfulness.
I hope that this Thanksgiving, I will be able to internalize the true meaning of thankfulness, and give my fervent thanks to the One who deserves it.

Isn't it ironic how most of the country forgets what they are celebrating?? I like to call it "terkey day" instead. Suits it better....
