Dear Parents,
My
youngest child will have her first Thanksgiving on Thursday and while she
will not be aware of all of her relatives doting on her, or sense the
importance of Turkey and stuffing and cranberries and pumpkin pie, she will
take part in a continuation of what is our country's most religious secular
holiday and the one most true to its original intent. As she
smiles and cries, like all babies, around her many hands will
labor the feast. (And many mouths will eat it!) Football
will be watched, the kids will get grass stains on their pant legs, drinks
will be spilled and when all is done, turkey sandwiches will be
devoured. Cinnamon and pumpkin, marshmallows and nuts; an abundance of
wonder will appear on the tables where we will all take our seats, bow our
heads in prayer and give thanks.
What
makes this day so special revolves not around family, friends or food, but
around gratitude to the one who makes it all possible. To God,
from whom all blessings flow, be all the glory and honor and thanks.
This
year I am thankful for much, for my family, my faith, the country I live in,
the gift of life; just to name a few. I am especially grateful for all
of you who make this school possible for yourselves and for others, some of
whom are yet unborn.
