Thanksgiving
That day in history when the Pilgrims joined the Native Americans in giving thanks for the blessings of bounty.
During a recent lesson on this American holiday one of my students raised their hand to ask if the Pilgrims were still alive. I explained that no they were not and we calculated the number of years that had passed since the very first Thanksgiving.
But why, my student pressed on, had he seen them shopping at Wal Mart?
Thus the lesson diverted to the subject of our local Amish and Mennonite communities.
I do hope this gave you a small smile.

Wishing all of my American friends out there a very Happy Thanksgiving!
