I'm thankful for memories of friends and loved ones who can not be with us today. I'm also thankful for family and friends who are here to share Thanksgiving with us.
In the year 1621, the Pilgrims held their first Thanksgiving feast. They invited the great Indian Chief, Massasoit, who brought ninety of his brave Indians and a great abundance of food. Governor William Bradford and Captain Miles Standish were honored guests. Elder William Brewster, who was a minister, said a prayer that went something like this: "We thank God for our homes and our food and our safety in a new land. We thank God for the opportunity to create a new world for freedom and justice."

Wishing you a very Happy Thanksgiving!
