This cartoon isn’t supposed to be funny. It’s supposed to make us think. The few times that we were privileged to spend Thanksgiving Day in the States with our family, I remember the sour pusses and miserable attitudes of ungrateful family members who didn’t want to be there. It’s such a terrible thing to have to sit down to a table about to collapse under the weight of all the delicious food. Heaven forbid, we might have to paste a smile on our face and converse with aunts and uncles or play games with the cousins. To be blunt, I find it disgusting and wicked! It makes me mad, because I would love to HAVE to spend Thanksgiving Day in the States every year, but the duties of the mission field call us away from special family gatherings around the holidays.
On this Thanksgiving Day of 2008, let’s remember those who can’t be home with their loved ones for Thanksgiving--our brave men and women fighting to keep foreigners free and possibly facing death on a holiday, or those laying in hospital beds who would give anything in the world to sit down in a comfy, cozy living room surrounded by loving family members. Thanksgiving is supposed to be a day for just that--giving thanks! When you stop and think about it, we really have a lot to be thankful for!!!
