He won two gold medals in the 1912 Olympics. He bested the world in both the decathlon and while he brought out a shoe box full of pictures. They told the life's history of this man. He was proud of the hitch in die Army, the time he spent playing for a dance band in . I asked when he was there, and he answered from 1910 to 1912. 1 couldn't believe my ears, that was the time when Jim Thorpe was there. When I asked y if he knew him, he said that he was on the same track team with Thorpe. When I started to talk to him about this most famous of all track teams, he was. astonished I had even heard of it. There are some great What this thought means to me is that Thanksgiving (isnt a meal or a holiday, but Thanksgiving is actually a way of living. On Thanksgiving Day we very faithfully prepare and consume a sumptuous meal, and maybe change the name of the town to noticed that the shoe box didnt contain any pictures of the school or the team, so the next day I placed a call to the Public Affairs Officer with the Army War .College at Carlisle, where the school used to be located.

Now, dont get me wrong. I am all for the Thanksgiving holiday.

The town is located about 60 or 70 miles from where the Carlisle Indian School was identified almost every person in each photograph. How many times I have thought of Misho, and thought that I should call over there. But I am afraid of what the news would be. I would much rather remember him as very much located.

In many ways, our attitude toward God can be compared with a marriage. Thanksgiving is the anniversary of that marriage. Each one of us knows that we should make something special of our wedding anniversary in order to show our gratitude toward our partner for putting up with us for another year. But believe me, if that is the only time we show our love and gratitude, ' . and the crisis was past they would turn back to their old ways, grumbling that God didnt really care about them. Also in the Bible we find in the Gospel of Luke, Chapter 17, where there were 10 lepers whom Jesus healed. Only one returned to Jesus to give Him thanks, to show his gratitude. This is how human we are. And yet, the call to acknowledge God, to return his love, is now just a once a year or once in a lifetime thing.

If a marriage is to exist, love and gratitude must be a real, every day expression of that marriage. Think how deeply we must hurt God when we do not return His love.

I guess I dont need you any more. All of us have heard stories of similar foxhole conversions or last resort acknowledgements of God. And we must admit, too, that we are more religious when our backs are against the wall. The point is that admitting and believing that there is a God, ho matter what it takes to bring such an experience about should cause us to live every moment for God.
