Thanksgiving and Thanksgiving Day

Thanksgiving and Thanksgiving Day

Each year on the fourth Thursday in November, many Americans will gather to eat, watch football, and be with their families. While today’s Thanksgiving celebrations would likely be unrecognizable to attendees of the original 1621 harvest meal. The pilgrims are the ones acknowledge founders of the feast. These people would give thanks to the creator’s gift so it was already a big part of their life. Giving thanks was, and still is, the primary reason for ceremonies and celebrations. Thanksgiving Day is a day of joy love, and mutual support. It’s a day where all your family can come together as one and enjoy each other’s company. It’s a day to give thanks and to remember all the good in the world. You watch football with your family and friends, you eat, and you celebrate.

Reflection: I honestly think that it is nice that we have such a day. I like spending time with my family members and especially those that I have not seen in months, or maybe even years.

Kindness

Kindness

Reflection: When I saw all those random acts of kindness, it made me feel good inside. It made me happy to know that people now a days are still kind and do things for others without expecting something in return. When the basketball team put in their player Michael in their last game, they didn’t expect to win, but a member from the opposite team noticed how much Michael really wanted to make a basket so when it was his turn to shoot, the team mate from the opposite team called Michael, gave him the ball and let him shoot. Everyone was so happy and the boy from the opposite team was to. Random acts of kindness are sometimes what keeps a person going throughout the day. A random act of kindness can save someone’s life.

Veterans Day

Veterans Day

            November 11, 1918 was the day that they said “ the war to end all wars”. The treaty of Versailles was signed.  Veterans Day is when we celebrate and honor those in the wars and those you tragically died during the war. President Wilson proclaimed November 11 as the first commemoration of Armistice Day. The original concept for the celebration was for a day observed with parades and public meetings and a brief suspension of business beginning at 11:00 am. The united states finally recognized the end of world war 1 when it passed a concurrent resolution on June 4, 1926. A lot of soldiers and nurses died on this day, and it’s nice that we have a day to honor them.

           

 Reflection: I think that it is nice that we have a day to honor those who served our country. They died with honor for this country and they were very brave to have done what they did. They to had families and were loved, they were humans, living and breathing and to thank them and their families for what they did we give them a day to honor them.

He that walketh with

wise men shall be wise: but a

companion of fools

shall be destroyed.

Proverbs 13:20

 

 

Reflection: What I think this means, is that if you follow someone that is smart, wise, and always chooses the right, then that’s who’ll you become. But if you follow someone that does drugs, drinks, and is always getting in trouble, then you’ll end up like them.
