*Share me your thoughts*
Author: Ethel11 Oct
In today’s society, we seem to have grown cold hearted. We are no longer sympathetic to the needs of others. We turn a deaf ear and a blind eye to the homeless, the hurting, the abandoned, and the unborn. Today, it’s become the norm to see murder, lewd acts, pornography, and evil doings on every corner; blatant, sinful living has become a way of life. We go on our way, thinking there will never be consequences for our actions - that we answer to no one but ourselves for the life we lead. We believe in Newton’s laws and Darwin’s theories, but we disregard the laws of GOD. For this, we SHOULD apologize and we SHOULD compromise.
However, there are things I will NOT apologize for nor compromise on…
I will NOT apologize, compromise, or back peddle on being a Christian, and all that title holds.
Here, i would like to share this wonderful story i got from Thian
There was a man named Steve, one night while he is sleeping he began to dream, in his dream, he saw Angel Gabriel going towards him, he asked why Angel Gabriel went to his room, Angel Gabriel knew that Steve was a kind man, god-fearing, and he was really good, so he told Steve that for being a good person, he’ll answer any question what Steve have in his mind, he was thinking if he’ll ask who’ll be his spouse, but he changed his question, he asked what does the heaven look like, the angel did’nt answer him, thus he grab Steve’s hands and he said I’ll not answer your question but I’ll show what the heaven looks like but before that I’ll show you the Hell, then when they arrived at the hell he saw a big house w/ a big room, in this room there is a long table w/ people facing each other, the table is filled w/ super delicious food. but the people in hell are sad and very hungry, you know why?, because they dont have elbows, so their arms can’t bend. Then Angel gabriel took him to heaven, like in the hell, there was a big house with a big room and a long table w/ people facing each other, and the table was filled w/ super delectable dishes, but the people here are happy eating and chatting, but Steve noticed like the people in the hell they have no elbow, but they used their hands to feed each other whoever is in their front. then he realized that…………ikaw anong nasa isip mo?

The first North American Thanksgiving was celebrated in 1578 when the English Navigator, Martin Frobisher, held a formal ceremony in Newfoundland. He did this to give thanks for surviving the long sea journey, and other settlers arrived in Newfoundland, and the tradition was continued by them.
In 1879, Parliament declared November 6th a national holiday of Thanksgiving. Over the years this date changed, and on January 31, 1957, Parliament declared the second Monday in October of each year to be “A Day of General Thanksgiving for the bountiful harvest with which Canada has been blessed”.
Tradition
Most families in Canada celebrate Thanksgiving with a special dinner for family and friends. The dinner usually includes a roasted turkey and pumpkin pie. Thanksgiving provides an opportunity to look at pioneer life, and it is an ideal time to celebrate the importance of Canadian farmers for all Canadians.
Many families use to have special meal, and go around the table expressing their thankfulness for during the past year. It is a special day for children to spend with their Canadian grandparents, and to appreciate the abundance in everyone’s lives.
Many friends and family members use to get together to convey their thankfulness for the past year.
Facts
Long ago, before the first Europeans arrived in North America, the farmers in Europe held celebrations at harvest time. To give thanks for their good fortune and the abundance of food, the farm workers filled a curved goat’s horn with fruit and grain. This symbol was called a cornucopia or horn of plenty. When they came to Canada they brought this tradition with them.
During the American Revolution, Americans who remained loyal to England moved to Canada where they brought the customs and practices of the American Thanksgiving to Canada. There are many similarities between the two Thanksgivings such as the cornucopia and the pumpkin pie. According to one Canadian resource the Canadian table usually features venison and waterfowl over turkey. However, a professor from Durham College tells us that in Southern Ontario eating waterfowl or venison at Thanksgiving has never happened and that the turkey or/and ham is the featured food.
Whatever is on your agenda for this weekend, may it be a safe and happy one for you.
Tender Gentle Hugs to each of you and have a great weekend…
