Give Thanks!

"In the year 1621, the Pilgrims held their first Thanksgiving feast. They invited the great Indian chief Massasoit, who brought ninety of his brave Indians and a great abundance of food. Governor William Bradford and Captain Miles Standish were honored guests. Elder William Brewster, who was a minister, said a prayer that went something like this: 'We thank God for our homes and our food and our safety in a new land. We thank God for the opportunity to create a new world for freedom and justice.'"
Linus Van Pelt – From a Charlie Brown Thanksgiving I have SO much to be THANKFUL for today and everyday; I am immensely blessed! I hope you all have a delightful day celebrating all your blessings. Remember to give thanks to all those around you and all those that serve our country and are unable to celebrate with their families today! We are more blessed than we will ever know!
