WE SHOULD BE THANKFUL
On this first Thanksgiving day since the con
clusion of world war 2 we have to be thankful
for the same things for which the Pilgrims were
thankful away back in the seventeenth century.
We have fought many wars and have made
great progress in the fields of science and
mechanics, but human nature has changed little
since 1600. The blessings for which we give
thanks are basic; that is, they are the funda
mental requirements for a happy life.
The Pilgrims were thankful for having suc
cessfully crossed the Atlantic ocean and having
escaped the tyranny of a European monarchy.
Today, we are thankful that many of our ser
vice men have returned from many lands, where
they helped to subdue tyranny.
fh e Pilgrims were thankful that God had
provided them with the opportunity for obtain
ing plenty of food. We are thankful that despite
rationing we have had and still have the re
quirements for adequate nourishment.
The Pilgrims were thankful for freedom of
speech, freedom of religion and freedom of as
sembly. Unlike much of the world, Americans
still enjoy those freedoms as well as freedom
of the press.
Americans are thankful, when they think of
these things, but they don’t appreciate the sim
pler fundamental phases of life when they are
denied the luxuries. Desire for improvement is
well, because it has brought most of our mater
ial progress, but we should also be thankful for
the foundations on which the luxuries rest.
