So, what’s in a word?
We are told the first Thanksgiving was a moment of gratitude by the Pilgrims to the Native Americans who helped them survive that harsh first winter. Of course the payback was to inflict all the plagues of ‘civilization’ – disease, greed and usurping land…
Although counterintuitive, it is not unusual for us to be intimidated and feel resentful towards those who help us.
Remember the James Taylor song:
“Shower the people you love with love
Show them the way that you feel…”
Who are you thankful to and how do you show it?
