God bless your day of Thanksgiving to bring renewal of your highest hopes for your special blessings and for Peace on Earth between all people. Thanksgiving Day reaches beyond the feasting to fill one’s heart with the JOY of GRATITUDE and to GIVING THANKS for the ordinary things~ Family, Friends, Health, Food, Clothing, Shelter & Warmth, and Simple Pleasures We all enjoy: Soaring Bird’s flying South, The blue sky dotted with white clouds, The beauty of the Sunset, The energy of a playful pet, or the delight hearing a dear Friend Laugh… These cherished Simple Pleasures~ Give Reasons to Smile. Also, Thanksgiving Day should be a day to give thanks For those who came to the New World seeking freedom Already home to an ancient American indigenous people. It is time to honor contributions of the Wampanoag people Giving their abundant land and harvest freely to the Pilgrim strangers seeking their help to teach them the American plants and seasons of harvest and to accept them as friends. It is time to stop ignoring AND honor the treaties we made. It is time to breach the canyon between Native Americans And the legacy of our ancestors who came seeking freedom Yet, produced generations of Native American oppressors instead. It is time to hear with an open mind We are human and our needs are the same. It is time to dismount from prejudice To fully understand the wisdom of both cultures and make Amends for barriers erected from bias and arrogance. It is time to free Leonard Peltier from prison... freeleonard.org/case/ Thanks-Giving time focuses on Prayer To bless us with grace can teach us to snuff out anger and fear And learn how to live a sustainable life of mutual Respect Peace, Empathy, and Compassion. It is time to seek balance and harmony to see the best within each of us Happy Thanks-Giving Day / by Sharon Conser November 28, 2013
