A Simple Thanksgiving
The Pilgrims' landing
His turn around the table
to share what he is thankful for
this Thanksgiving season, this year
A simple thanksgiving
so like the first Thanksgiving
in Plimouth, so long ago
thankful for God, for this place
This land of ours, our home
our ability to believe, to worship
as our conscience, our faith guides
In a time of war, his words
a poignant reminder
of how much we truly have
to be thankful for,
each and every day
-Raymond A. Foss
**did you know that my great great great great great great great great great great great (that’s 11 greats) grandparents came over on the Mayflower? It’s true!

“As one small candle may light a thousand, so the light here kindled hath shone unto many, yea, in some sort to our whole nation.” Governor William Bradfort, Of Plimoth Plantation. Today I wore a pin on my sweater in the shape of a candle in a candle holder as a small token of Remembrance and Thanksgiving.
