Happy Thanksgiving
Originally shared by ted kelly
To mark the occasion, I'd like us to remember the first Thanksgiving. More than 50 years before those newcomers up in Plymouth, Capt. René Goulaine de Laudonnière gave thanks along with the Timucua Indians. On June 30, 1564 he wrote "On this celebration, we sang a psalm of Thanksgiving unto God, beseeching Him that it would please His Grace to continue His accustomed goodness toward us.”

Some things never seem to change.
