Time to dine
Remember:
Thanksgiving Day, a function which originated in New England two or three centuries ago when those people recognized that they really had something to be thankful for - annually, not oftener - if they had succeeded in exterminating their neighbors, the Indians, during the previous twelve months instead of getting exterminated by their neighbors, the Indians. Thanksgiving Day became a habit, for the reason that in the course of time, as the years drifted on, it was perceived that the exterminating had ceased to be mutual and was all on the white man's side, consequently on the Lord's side; hence it was proper to thank the Lord for it and extend the usual annual compliments. ~Mark Twain
Remember:
May your stuffing be tasty, May your turkey plump, May your potatoes and gravy, Have nary a lump.
May your yams be delicious, And your pies take the prize, And may your Thanksgiving dinner, Stay off your thighs! ~Author Unknown
Remember:
Perhaps it takes a purer faith to praise God for unrealized blessings than for those we once enjoyed or those we enjoy now. ~A.W. Tozer
"I saw a fly on your head"
Remember:
On Thanksgiving Day we acknowledge our dependence. ~William Jennings Bryan
"Hang on... I must get into my picture posing uniform"
Remember:
Thanksgiving was never meant to be shut up in a single day. ~Robert Caspar Lintner
Remember:
Thanksgiving to God is an exuberant response to giving me HIS everything . . . by giving Him MY everything. –Martha Kilpatrick
