https://thriveglobal.com/stories/why-is-thanksgiving-important/ Some ideas… and a suggestion…


Mr. Walker in a class today, poem on giving thanks:




So someone said these very wise words to

the people who were list-en-ing back then,

within a country occupied by who

was doing Empire in their known world when


we started ou-r C.E. time at “nought”,

(the end of BCE, and start of next

new era in the history of the world)

to make a change towards being more blessed..


He said it was “More bless-ed” as things went

“to give, than to receive”. They're funny words.

But as you think about them, Good things sent

from you to other folk, that's even nerds,


might mean you are a better conduit for

such gifts to be dispersed, from source of good.

And if that source had sense, it might see more

things were dispersed through that method, or could.


So if you want to be more blessed, then do

see that you give away, 'swell, as receive.

For when you give the chance to give, then you

can give when you receive, i do believe.


But key to all this is "Which one's on top?"

And which is undergirding what I do:

Is giving just my chance to get? Then stop,

and swap them 'round. My God! - to be more true!


I'll take to heart what good I've heard and now

have come to understand a bit more 'coz

I saw a person live like this somehow,

and I would like to be now as he was!
