A
Lot To Be Thankful For In Thanksgiving 2024
The
first 4 years the Pilgrims after surviving a 2 month long voyage across dangerous
seas
Endured
freezing weather, stained relations with certain tribes, threats of starvation
and deadly disease
But
warmed and strengthened by their faith and the Wampanoag’s farming aid
A failure to establish the
colony and retreat by the few remaining survivors were able to evade
Though nowhere near the
difficulty the Pilgrims faced
The last four years have been
hard with job losses and inflation seeking to savings erase
The economic winters of despair
are melting fast and the light at the end of the tunnel shines
Today truly a time for Thanksgiving
for the bounty of material goods
And the fact that the fears
of recession and the beasts of inflation we have withstood
With our freedoms to
worship as we see fit despite our divisiveness still intact
And when it comes to
disasters our wallets and purses opened to those victims who all manner of
security now lack
We are still a deeply divided
nation
And the plague of ad
hominem attacks merits our condemnation
But today we know it is
hard to assail a neighbor with a mouth full of turkey
As the tranquil and calming
effects of tryptophan we will soon see
A time to be thankful and
full of gratitude with the ability during the Holidays to it share
Even on Black Friday when
the cries of frustrated shoppers tend to fill the air
To Playport for its support of this feast--turkey leg salutes and cheers
And kudos also to our pot
luck providers and the efforts of this event’s volunteers
