With Thanksgiving Day around the corner, I thought I would post a blog to focus on being thankful. We can surely be thankful that my great-great-Uncle Ben did not get his way! Just kidding, I have no idea if I am related to Benjamin Franklin or not. Ben Franklin actually requested that the turkey be named our national symbol. Other leaders of his day chose the bald eagle instead.
Our pastor reminded us this week that the media like to call this day "Turkey" Day because they do not like to be reminded to be thankful to God. You can watch a short video at this link to History.com about the History of Thanksgiving.
