"
God understands that thankfulness is not always (or
usually) a gut-reaction for us. Even Jesus struggled to
thankfully accept God's Plan of salvation while He prayed
in the Garden of Gethsemane, preparing to go through
the agony of the cross..."

APPRECIATING the LEO PETERS 2 FAMILY...because my late grandfather Leo Peters was the first to trademark the "Butterball" name (which he later sold to the turkey company ie armour, but retained the rights to use the name for his butter factory, ie butterball farms,) and was also involved in various meat endeavors, and my memories of Thanksgiving revolve around a big meal at the "butterball mansion" I am adding a thanksgiving section to this blog!

HOW (& why) DO ATHEISTS GIVE THANKS? "They Did Not Honor Him or Give Thanks — Why Thanksgiving is Inescapably Theological "- Al Mohler
"...
Can one really be thankful without being thankful to
someone? It makes no sense to express thankfulness
to a purely naturalistic system. The late Stephen Jay
Gould, an atheist and one of the foremost
paleontologists and evolutionists of his day,.."

NPR LIBS TAKE A CHEAPSHOT AT PILGRIMS:"Reconsidering The Pilgrims, Piety And America's Founding Principles" : NPR
Its just a brief little story,but that's how dem-libs do it. They start with little "take-down" stories (ie trying to take down the established prevalent narrative) & keep chipping away over & over,year after year, until our kids don't believe anymore. They want to destroy our beautiful heritage.

photo-link: my aunt martha (part-time resident of Jackson Hole) with some of us nephews & nieces at the cottage (lake michigan). Martha is my thoughts & prayers. She was hospitable to me for a few summers at their house in Jackson Hole albeit with some qualifications. I hope she can learn to trust me and that I would never ever take anything from their house without permission (ie i would never "steal" from them. I only shoplifted a little during my poor college years, and I literally sent a few checks to some of the stores to re-pay them later on. yes, literally! God bless Martha and the Van Genderens: Warren, Todd, Craig, Eric, Courtney, and all their spouses and kids et al Oh, also, by the way, when I was staying at their house one summer...one day I was asked to retrieve the mail from their post office box. I was embarrassed to find a penthouse magazine (ie pornography) in the box addressed to one of the VG kids. I didn't know what to do, so I hid it. Later that day, there was a big controversy at the house because one of the VG boys accused the other VG boy (his brother) of stealing this magazine. I heard them arguing, and realized I had to bring it to them. Embarrassingly, I brought it to them, trying to explain I was uncomfortable (for their sake) about it and almost threw it away but decided to wait in case something like this happened. They didn't know what to say. Martha was there too. It was very embarrassing because they thought I kept it for my own personal prurient pleasure. At that time in my life I wasn't interested in looking at girlie magazines. I was really growing as a Christian spiritually and that sort of activity was not my cup of tea. But I think some of them were still "in the flesh" and as such you can't convince them of anything spiritual. From that day on, apparently they told Larry & Barb about it (warren's brother Larry also lives full-time in Jackson, along with his wife barb & adult kids), and they also took it in the wrong way. Ever since that incident, things were never the same. Martha is the oldest daughter of the Butterball Farms founder (butter, not turkey).
