FROM GREAT TO SAD?

When I was a little girl,we had a little elderly lady who would come into our classrooms at school, and tell us about the 1st Thanksgiving. Mrs. Detra would bring her flannel board, and use these cut outs of pilgrims and indians,to depict the very first Thanksgiving.This was their first celebration feast,as they gave thanks to God for His provision during that first cold,hard time in the new land.
Every year, this petite lady would come and go through this whole story, and how it came about, and how we, as a nation, should be thankful, for our many blessings!
We all ended by saying just what we were thankful for, as a class. I've thought about this, for many years, and I think we've lost the whole concept of giving thanks behind "Thanksgiving."
I'm not sure there are many folks left, who are even thankful for anything,anymore, muchless thankful to the one who gave it to us in the first place!
What a sad state for such a great country!
Let's be thankful though,that we can change......
