Do you have turkey? Without butterball turkey Thanksgiving is incomplete. It is the important symbol that thanksgiving day is successful with turkey as a symbol so sacred as an important offering. Although I know that thanksgiving should always be everyday. We always thank God for the blessings of everyday or daily get together round the table or by the table to share the food with our family. My husband worked so hard every day to bring us good food that I cooked and we all have to share them. It's good to eat the food that comes from good hands and from decent work. That alone is a great reason for gratitude.
For the farmers it is the day to thank the Lord God for the great good harvest of grains such as wheat, rice, barley, oats and pumpkins, lots of pumpkins and fresh produce. In Canada it is the harvest festival of crops and live stocks they had from their arable farms in autumn before winter sets in. Festival of harvested crops adorned their house, farms and market. Pumpkin contest is held to find the biggest pumpkin ever. Other people from the next province used bigger pumpkins big enough for one person to ride on for their pumpkin water race. How amazing that is right if it happened here in our own city.
