Well people, here it is the week of Thanksgiving. Sometimes I wonder about what others really think about this holiday. Is it really about turkey, football and shopping , or is it more? I really think that Thanksgiving gets overdramatized. It may be a lead in to the Christmas season ( more on that later), but it should be a major reflection of what is really meant by Thanksgiving. In school, we were taught that it was about the Pilgrims and their first meal with the Indians of the area. Later on that was expanded to be a case study of colonization of the continent. After getting out of school and having kids, it turned into the search for the best buy for kids' gifts. Now, an argument can be made for the case of the day is now about being thankful for safety of family and friends. In a world of terrorism and all kind of crazies, it can't be too difficult to understand .My reasoning is that this world is terrible and as explained in the Revelation, we are going through the birth pains of the rapture and the arrival of the Anti-Christ. I feel that we should thank our men and women in the military that keep us safe and sound. Let's really think about this as we eat turkey, watch football and prepare to shop at O-Dark -Thirty ( That's really early for you non-military types). And maybe we can be thankful for a lot more.
Well, That's one guys rant - WHAT DO YOU THINK????
