It's reported that the first Thanksgiving was celebrated in Plymouth, Massachusetts in 1621 with English colonists and the Wampanoag people.
The celebration was to give thanks for a bountiful harvest and for the colonists to thank the Wampanoag people for helping them settle and survive in their new land.
As humans, we seem to have a natural inclination to focus on the bitterness in our lives. War, destruction, losses and disagreements take a front seat while the blessings we receive often times go unnoticed.
Thanksgiving is a day for us to pause and take notice of our blessings. Most importantly, for those of us with a faith in a supreme being (God; okay?!), to give thanks to Him for all that we have.
So today we give thanks. We give thanks for the many blessings in our lives.
Among my many blessings, I want to give thanks for YOU, the Colorado AR-15 community. While we're often too ready to express our differences, we have a lot in common and share a fellowship within this community that I don't experience any place else.
Thank you, COAR-15 members & HAPPY THANKSGIVING!
