Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving is often pictured as a time when families gather and harmony reigns.  Movies frequently show another side.  The families get together and then dis-harmony reigns.  Then again, what would a movie be without conflict. 

I saw in the news that the mayor of Seattle started a new tradition for that city.  He pardoned a tofurky.  Bravo Seattle!  For our Thanksgiving this year we are doing something a little different.  We have invited the congregation to the church for a Thanksgiving dinner.  We will have the traditional turkey, ham, and for us vegetarians, tofurky.  Ten or eleven people have said they are coming and it should be a lot of fun.

We do have so many things we are thankful for.  I am most grateful for the people in my life.

Peace,
Fr. Fred
