Thank God
(I am still here)

 

     Christians around here are insistent on observing this day as memorial to a dinner long ago in Massachusetts. Pilgrims and Native Americans gathered and ate the bounty of the land, following the harvest. Turkey was the main course, as it was abundant. The day became an occasion to remember blessings and to be humble in giving thanks.

     Football was added later. It became a devise to keep men out of the kitchen while the women prepared the feast.
     On this day, Americans may hear of war and reprisal for terrorist attack. They may see parades with gigantic baloons, and read comic strips celebrating the occasion. They may overeat or make diet promise procratination that will soon be broken. They will gather with family and friends, in homes and restaurants.
Most will say a prayer of thankfulness.
Some will reflect and realize just how good we have it here.
