Thanksgiving

Normally, every blogger posts a Thanksgiving post: What I’m thankful for, What we’re eating, Family visiting…etc.etc.etc.

I decided that I’m not going to do that. :D It’s time for something a little bit different.

I’m going to see if you can get the idea of being a pilgrim.

Imagine this. You’re sitting on a ship, rocking at sea. Salt is caked in your hair and you can taste it in your mouth. You don’t have a lot of food and you’re starting to feel sort of sick after weeks of traveling. People all around you, your friends and family, are dying. Finally, you see land. After days of watching the land and waiting, you reach the land. You go ashore and agree on “Plymouth.” Remember the fact that you don’t have a lot of food and there’s still a lot of you, even though many died and fell overboard.

You obviously wouldn’t be very thankful would you?

Correct. Don’t even try to answer differently because then you’d be lying.

Don’t stop imagining. You see an indian.He teaches you how to grow your food. You then have food. You are thankful for all God has got you through.

Thanksgiving. Don’t just say that you’re thankful for something and then go eat food. It’s not right. Honor the pilgrims and pray for the ones who are going through a lot of troubles and don’t have a lot to be thankful for.

Over and Out.
