"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.
Amen.'"
These are all things I am thankful for today and everyday. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving. I hope you spend it with people you love.

I hope you have a good Thanksgiving! The sound of the Peanuts music and narration takes me back instantly--hard to even articulate the nostalgia.
ReplyDeleteHappy Thanksgiving! Enjoy your family :)
ReplyDeleteI adore 'Charlie Brown' and have loved the character Snoopy since I was a girl. We only get the specials now and again here so Youtube is great. Thanks for reminding me of my younger days I feel quite cheery now. Hope you had a very happy Thanksgiving.
