Today many of us will sit down to a turkey dinner with all the trimmings in celebration of Thanksgiving Day. Football games and parades will be on our televisions. Yes, I admit it, that is what I am doing now, watching the Vikings/Lions game. But, before all of the commercialization, bounty, and ease, there was struggle, hardship, and hope for a freedom that was lacking in most people's lives. On this day perhaps we ought to remember how we came to be. Because we seem to be watching the slow dismantling of so many things put in place to afford us that bounty, ease, and freedom we hold so dear.
What follows is a short video of the first Pilgrims who, in their wisdom, put together an agreement to see them through the hardships they were to endure in their new world. It was really a lesson in working together for the greater good, which we could certainly use today. It is an old video, but I felt it got the point across very well.
