It is the season when the fruits of the harvest are safely garnered in, it is the season of fulfilment. [1 is the season of Thanusgiving, How fortunate we are to live in this land of plenty... net only food Gat all the other good things of life. With world tension at an all time high and with hunger stalaing many areas of the world, we in Canada can surely count . out blessings. "In the hurly-burly of daily living it is sn easy to take our blessings for granted and even though our world js filled with trouble and strife. mankind has much to be thankful for. Blessing could be divided irie two parts . . . necessities and extras. ‘Sun, water, air, food and shelter max be counted as necessities but starlicht and mooslight are definitely extras. So are music. lovers, fragrance and bird song, In the distribution of the extras, the Almighty shows no favortes . . . rich and poor may share alike, Beauty is not really a necessity but a wonderful extra, Free to all is the rainbow after the rain. the Might of a gull across the sky. the elfin grace and iewelled beauty of a humming bird. a spray of white Hlac ar a rose. In a world that is fast becoming automized. mechanized and computerized, sxe need more beauty J aho but a loving Providence would fashion butterflies for man's dcelisht. These extras are indisputable symbols of love, an answer t man’s hunger and need for more than bread alone. Let us give thanks. Thank offerings ard sharing go hand in hand with Thanks giving, The very first Thanksgiving celebrated bv the Pilgrims demonstrated this truth - here is the story. The Fiymouth colonists celebrated the first Thanksgiving Day in the fall of their second year in the new world, The first winter «was one of tragedy which resulted in the death of nearly half of their colony. But the second summer brow ght them a bumper harvest, and in 1421 Governar “iam Bradford decreed a special day for feasting and praver to show their gratit:de for the guudness of God, “ishing to share their bounty the Pilgrims despatched an invitation to Chief Massasoit. asking him t bring some of his braves io a feast. They thought he might bring about a sonre .. . but he brought nearly a hundred. Put neither br word or look did they let the Indians know how surprised they were. The wothen baked larger quantities of corn- bread and harley cakes and kept the kettles bailing «ith Savery fool, The men kept the fires ening and fixed extra tables and benches, The Indians had come prepared to demonstrate their friendliness and goodwill by bringing gifts of dried venison, wild turkeys and corn seed, The food dwindled, but the women kept on cooking and baking and giving thanks. Bown through the years we have recognized the day that was originally marked as a day of thanks for a generous crop, Like the Pilgrims let us not stop there... having given thanks let us share, in so far as we are able, the gor’ things which have made life nwre abundant for ts. Perhaps the UNITED APPEAL was timed to coincide with the Thanksgiving season. If gratitude is in out hearts may we show our apprectation for the good life by sharing with ihose jess fortunate. Thanksgiving Day was not fsunded by prosperous or even great folk, but by people strugeling for their very existence. If they had reason to be thankful how much more meaningful should this season be to us in this great land of plenty,
