Giving Thanks

 

Giving Thanks - Feelings of gratitude, or giving thanks, must be built into human nature.  Many of the ancient Hebrew psalms were composed around the theme of Thanksgiving. And the story of the Plymouth Pilgrims includes an element of giving thanks in their 1621 harvest festival.  And the fall of the year, when the last fruits and vegetables of the season have been gathered in, seems to elicit these innate feelings of gratitude.  This is the week.  So let us give thanks.
