The Syns of amerika? all 7
Punapetah says:
1. Gluttony, Well SUPERSIZE me, McHeartattack,Thanksgiving? more food consumed in one day for what, a story? while 3/4 of the world eats what?
And here's my thought:
You really need to come up for a breath and smell the flowers.
Does it really matter how or why we get to celebrate Thanksgiving, and even if the story that’s told is true or not.
The idea here is in the word “Giving”. It allows us to take time off of work and share time, food, money and friendship with others that are less fortunate.
This is the time of year for the harvest and to share food with others. My mother was so poor as a child food was treated as money. The best honor you could give to someone was to have him or her over for dinner, especially if you were serving meat. She tells me there were nothing but smiles at the dinner table.
My family takes time to help those who have less. Shake one more hand with a stranger then on a normal day; help someone with their bags or across the street. Eat to you bust if that’s what you want, or just sit at home and spend the day thinking just how fortunate we really are.
