The First Thanksgiving at Plymouth

The Pilgrims made seven times more graves than huts.

No Americans have been more impoverished than these who,

nevertheless, set aside a day of thanksgiving.

~ H.U. Westermayer

 

 

 

 

 

Most of us forget to take time for wonder, 

praise, and gratitude until it is almost too late. 

Gratitude is a many-colored quality, 

reaching in all directions. 

It goes out for small things and for large; 

it is a God-ward going.

It took almost ten minutes just to be able to get out of the parking lot

at the Senior Resource Center!  Traffic on the road was at a standstill.

That is the hood of my car in the lower right.

Larry (my wonderful handyman!) made a great art storage unit for me!

(I won't tell you what the rest of the room looks like at the moment.)

 

 

 

 

 

 

Thanksgiving, after all,

is a word of action.

Luke 23:33-43

33When they came to the place that is called The Skull, they crucified Jesus there with the criminals, one on his right and one on his left. [[34Then Jesus said, ‘Father, forgive them; for they do not know what they are doing.’]] And they cast lots to divide his clothing. 35And the people stood by, watching; but the leaders scoffed at him, saying, ‘He saved others; let him save himself if he is the Messiah of God, his chosen one!’36The soldiers also mocked him, coming up and offering him sour wine,37and saying, ‘If you are the King of the Jews, save yourself!’ 38There was also an inscription over him, ‘This is the King of the Jews.’

39 One of the criminals who were hanged there kept deriding him and saying, ‘Are you not the Messiah? Save yourself and us!’ 40But the other rebuked him, saying, ‘Do you not fear God, since you are under the same sentence of condemnation? 41And we indeed have been condemned justly, for we are getting what we deserve for our deeds, but this man has done nothing wrong.’ 42Then he said, ‘Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom.’ 43He replied, ‘Truly I tell you, today you will be with me in Paradise.’
