30 Days of Thankful: Day 25


As today is Thanksgiving day, I am grateful for the pilgrims who began this lovely tradition. They pilgrims are great examples of people with hearts full of gratitude. They had plenty of things to complain about, but they chose to focus on their blessings. Not only that, but they opened their homes, and tables to their new friends and neighbors. I am thankful for their example.


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.
