This week’s photo challenge by WordPress, Thankful , conjures up pictures of food, family, friends, and material objects. Beyond our immediate circle of influence and interaction, our country, and the peace, liberty, and freedom it offers comprise some of the more esoteric gifts that make us thankful. Our lives are improved by people that serve us and do things that we can’t do for ourselves, so we are thankful for: business people, teachers, doctors, our service men and women, inventors, even attorneys, Jean.
All of what we experience in life today thankfully and appreciatively is built on a foundation of ancestors that worked hard, made mistakes, created, and destroyed, loved and laughed just as we do today who left us a legacy. I am thankful that life moves on, and things change.
At a teachers week-long institute in Colonial Williamsburg, we had no idea what kind of trouble we might be getting into. I’m not sure why we are laughing, our crime was not a laughing matter. We might have been doing something dreadful such as preaching Baptist doctrine inside the town. Amazing when it’s out your time period, you can laugh about some pretty horrible practices. I’m just thankful these are passé.
Here are some other samples of Thankful.
