After a long pause, one student raised his hand and answered, “Their age!”

If you have my kind of humor, you laughed at that.

Seriously, the Pilgrims dug a lot more graves than they built homes (huts) in those early days. They were very poor and needy, and yet, they set aside a day to give thanks. We have so much and so often appreciate it so little, We can and should really give thanks for food to eat, homes to live in, work do to, families to love and so much more. One idea is to write down some things you are thankful for and share them with your family before your Thanksgiving feast.

Let's focus on how truly blessed we all are this year.

And, let's remember military families during this Christmas season, too!

Have a blessed and joyful Thanksgiving!
