While sharing our Thanksgiving gratitude for and with loved ones, let’s remember that many of our neighbors have a different outlook on the storybook vision of the first Thanksgiving. Additionally so many of our immigrant neighbors may feel far more fear than gratitude.
From the article, “The United American Indians of New England meet each year at Plymouth Rock on Cole’s Hill for a Day of Mourning. They gather at the feet of a statue of Grand Sachem Massasoit of the Wampanoag to remember and reflect in the hope that America will never forget.”
May our horn of plenty symbolize our overflowing gratitude, love, and action as good neighbors these challenging days ahead. May we celebrate every day as a day of thanks that can someday be shared by all.
