Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving

            How would US history change if Indians and Europeans across the board had cooperated like the tribes of the Wampanoag people and the pilgrims. Would Indian tribes exist today? Would they intermingle taking the good of each civilization?
We can ponder forever the “what if’s” of this life, but we can’t live in them.  There’s no way to know. It’s far better to look around us and find things to be thankful for. Even the smallest of blessings we have in our lives. Setting aside electronic devices, we have much to be grateful for in these times.
Transportation of produce for example. Today we have fresh fruits and vegetables available year around.
Eyeglasses and contacts shape our world. Hearing aids also.
Transportation shapes our lives. What would take days is now covered in hours. Minutes if air transportation comes into play.
Running water in our homes.
Indoor temperature control.
Scriptures and other books readily available.
TP and other disposable conveniences.
The list goes on and on endlessly. My challenge to you is to put a paper somewhere listing the small things you are grateful for and add to it as you hurry by.
