A time to give thanks
Did you know that in 1621, the Plymouth colonists and Wampanoag Indians shared an autumn harvest feast that is acknowledged today as one of the first Thanksgiving celebrations in the colonies? For more than two centuries, days of thanksgiving were celebrated by individual colonies and states. It wasn’t until 1863, in the midst of the Civil War, that President Abraham Lincoln proclaimed a national Thanksgiving Day to be held each November.

Giving thanks
Today my front yard looks like an autumn landscape …. not on a postcard but on a sale paper for leaf blowers and rakes. I prefer to think of it as an advertisement for autumn, my favorite season. Yellow leaves still cling to the silver maple, but the red maple’s leaves are mostly on the ground. The already brown dogwood leaves are strewn about the yard. The ornamental pears are about half red and half green at this point, but I parked under one of them yesterday and returned this morning to find my car covered with bright leaves. Mostly though, big sycamore leaves coat the yard. Almost every brown leaf is bigger than my hand, and the wind has worked diligently to spread them all over the whole place.

Fire hunting
When whitetail deer first appeared on the scene here in Coffee County in the late 70’s, none of us country boys had a clue how to hunt them. I mean an animal with eyesight like an eagle’s, a nose like a bloodhound and ears like radar ain’t exactly easy to sneak up on. We soon discovered, however, that they had one weakness that made them obtainable; whenever you shine a light in their eyes they stand still and stare at you thus making for an easy shot. This isn’t exactly sporting but after chasing them around in the woods and always getting skunked, a desperate man will often skew his principles of fair play to include any method that works.

Thanksgiving makes us whole
Humankind has the most unique relationship to its Creator. It is stated in the Bible that we are created in the image of God. We are inbreathed with God’s breath of life, which makes us a “living soul” with a distinctive bond with our Maker. This exclusive rapport is the only one of its kind in all of God’s creation. Our inimitable affiliation with God allows a communion with Him that no other of His establishment enjoys.
