THIS COMING THURSDAY IS THANKSGIVING DAY FOR EVERYONE IN THE US. HERE IN CANADA WE HAVE OUR THANKSGIVING THE FIRST WEEK OF OCTOBER. SAME CELEBRATION DIFFERENT. DOES IT CHANGE THINGS NO IT DOESNT. THANKSGIVING FIRST STARTED WHEN THE PILGRIMS LANDED ON PLYMOUTH ROCK AND WHEN THE NATIVE INDIANS SHARED THE HARVEST WITH THEM SO THAT THEY WOULD NOT STARVE AND TO GIVE THANKS FOR THE BOUNTIFUL HARVEST AS WELL. TODAY THE TRADTION LIVES ON. WHERE WE ALL GATHER AT PEOPLES HOMES AND SHARE A BIG MEAL AS WELL AS FELLOWSHIP WITH FRIENDS AND RELATIVES. IT IS PEOPLES WAY OF SAYING THANKS FOR THE YEAR THAT HAS BEEN HERE AND FOR TEH YEAR AHEAD OF US. BUT UNFORTUNATELY THERE ARE PEOPLE OUT THERE THAT DONT GET TO FEEL THE JOY OF THANKSGIVING AND THOSE ARE THE PEOPLE THAT LIVE ON THE STREET OR THE PEOPLE THAT CANNOT AFFORD TO HAVE A THANKSGIVING MEAL. DURING THIS TIME AND ANYTIME OF THE YEAR WE MUST ALL STOP AND GIVE THESE PEOPLE A CHANCE TO EXPERIENCE A TURKEY DINNER OR WHATEVER MEAL WE ARE ALL PLANNING ON HAVING. THEY ALL DESERVE SOMETHING EVEN HAPPINESS FOR ONE DAY.I HAVE SEEN FIRST HAND WHAT THESE PEOPLE GO THROUGH EACH DAY SINCE I HAVE VOLUNTEERED MY TIME AT SHELTERS AND ALSO WHEN I WAS WITH ST. JOHN AMBULANCE WE WOULD HELP OUT WITH THE OUT OF THE COLD PROGRAM MAKING SURE THAT THEY GOT SOMETHING TO EAT A WARM PLACE TO STAY AND WERE GIVEN MEDICAL ATTENTION. WE JUST CANT IGNORE THEM. SO PLEASE GIVE GENEROUSLY TO TEH FOOD BANKS. SO TO EVERYONE IN THE US HAPPY THANKSGIVING FROM ALL OF US UP HERE IN CANADA. GOD BLESS
