Thanksgiving Celebrations Around the World

When Thanksgiving arrives, what will you be thankful for?   Are you aware that not all countries celebrate Thanksgiving?   Have you heard of global gratitude?

 

Think About This. . .

***Intentional***

1.      The Netherlands

Did you know that the Netherlands celebrate Thanksgiving because before settlers even set foot on United State land, they rested in Leiden- a city in the Netherlands before completing their journey.   The pioneerwoman.com further added the Netherlands take the day to meet in Pieterskerk, a staple church in the country, to honor the efforts of those who helped start the voyage to America.

 

2.      In America

Thanksgiving Celebration in America is almost a 400-Year-Old Tradition.  Visittheusa.com further added that people eat large amounts of turkey, the President Pardons a turkey, people shop ‘til they drop, and people travel to visit their families.  I also have observed some families do not do the traditional turkey eating, but rather eat ham, tacos, or other non-traditional meals.  There are those that do not even like turkey.   There are those that have traditional Thanksgiving Service at church for Thanksgiving also.

 

3.      Viet Nam

Thanksgiving in Viet Nam is celebrated on the 15^th of the eighth luna cycle around the end of September or the Start of October.   The Tet-Trung-Thu Festival coincides with the end of harvest and because parents were so busy working in the months ahead, the festival was started as a way to show appreciation to the children, showering them with love and holding a candlelit procession at dawn in their honor. This is talked about at Housebeautiful.com.    

4.       Liberia

Liberia shares the holiday timing with American Thanksgiving with church services followed by auctions of fruit baskets filled with papayas and mangoes.   Instead of turkey, Liberian Thanksgiving tables feature spicy roast chicken, mashed cassava, and traditional dishes like jollof rice.Crystal-travel.com talks about this.   They further state it is a lively occasion marked by food, music, dancing, and a deep sense of community.

 

5.      Norfolk Island

Have you heard of Norfolk Island?  According to History.com Norfolk Island is a remote Island in the Pacific Ocean with Thanksgiving tradition that dates back to the mid-1890’s.  Parishioners on the island celebrate the holiday today bringing fruits, vegetables and cornstalks to decorate the church and singing American hymns on the last Wednesday of November each year.

 

6.     Thanksgiving Trivia

Have you thought about playing Thanksgiving Trivia this Thanksgiving with your family?  Below are listed a few trivia questions for you found at Goodhousekeeping.com:

a.      What Christmas song was originally written for Thanksgiving?  Jingle Bells is known as a Christmas song, it was originally written for Thanksgiving.  James Lord Pierpont wrote the song and it was first performed for a Thanksgiving service at his family member’s church.

 

b.     How Many Feathers Does an Adult Turkey Have?  An adult turkey has about 3500 feathers.

 

c.     Where did the tradition of breaking the wishbone come from?   The tradition of breaking the wishbone came from Italy.  It is said to date back to around 800 BCE, to an ancient Italian civilization known as the Etruscans.   They would dry the chicken bones and then touch them (not break them) for good luck.  At the time, Etruscans believed that birds were oracles capable for foreseeing the future, so by touching their bones, people could manifest good things for their own futures.  Countryliving.com notes that the Romans adopted the custom of the wishbone; rather than simply touching it, they would compete to break it apart. The person who ended up with the larger portion was thought to have their wish granted.  Now that is what I remember as a little girl.  Making a wish and attempting to break off the larger portion of the wishbone.

 

d.     The Final Trivia Question is What president refused to declare Thanksgiving a holiday?  The answer is Thomas Jefferson.  His reasoning was that he believed firmly in the separation of church and state.  Since Thanksgiving involved prayer and reflection, he thought designating it as a national holiday would violate the First Amendment.  He also thought it was better suited as a state holiday, not a federal one.

 

 

7.      Does Europe Celebrate Thanksgiving?

Europe does not officially celebrate Thanksgiving and there is no national Thanksgiving holiday, but the spirit of gathering and gratitude is still alive in various forms.  En.homes.com talks about this.   They further added that in rural areas of Austria, Germany, and Switzerland, communities hold Erntedankfest which is a traditional harvest festival in September or October, depending on the region.

 

8.      Poland

Does Poland celebrate Thanksgiving?  Poland’s Thanksgiving or harvest is called Dozynki and was started in the 16^th century according to en.homes.com.  This originally was a time for landowners to show gratitude and share the bounty of the harvest with the workers who helped grow the crops.   The celebration was marked by dancing, feasting, and the creation of harvest wreaths, which were believed to bring fertility and blessings for the next harvest.

 

The First Thanksgiving

Do you know when the first Thanksgiving occurred?   History.com talks about this.   In November 1621, after the Pilgrims’ first corn harvest proved successful, Governor William Bradford organized a celebratory feast and invited a group of the fledgling colony’s Native American allies, including the Wampanoag chief Massaoit.  They further added that the festival lasted for three days and there is no existing record of the first Thanksgiving’s exact menu.  Because the Pilgrims had no oven and the Mayflower’s sugar supply had dwindled by the fall of 1621, the meal did not feature pies, cakes or other desserts which are so popular today at Thanksgiving dinners.

AI (Artificial Intelligence) Growing in Leaps and Bounds

Have you ever thought about how it is that AI (Artificial Intelligence) got started?   Have you ever thought about how long AI has been around?  AI (Artificial Intelligence is transforming the way we live, work, and connect.

 

Think About This. . .

 

Did You Know?

***Intentional***

1.      Alan Turing

According to coursera.org. Alan Turing, a British mathematician, imagined a computing machine, but lacked the technology to prove his theory at that time.  They further added that during the summer of 1956 John McCarthy invited researchers for a summer-long workshop.  During that summer he defined the practice of human-like machines capable of human intelligence.

2.      The Universe

Are we the only ones in the universe?   Are we the smartest ones in the universe?  What is the reason that the government cannot explain alien objects seen by millions of people every year?  Is everyone hallucinating?

Have you ever asked yourself how many galaxies are in the Universe? Sciencefocus.com states that there could be as many as two trillion galaxies in the observable universe.  They further added that the largest galaxy in the Universe is likely the ESO 383-76 supergiant elliptical galaxy measures 1,764,000 light-years in diameter and is found in the Centaurus Constellation, some 654 million light-years from Earth.  Can you imagine?   Can you also imagine that earth is not the only intelligent life form in the Universe?    

 

3.       Jobs Lost or Jobs Created with AI (Artificial Intelligence)

How many jobs will be lost because of AI (Artificial Intelligence)?   How many jobs will be created because of AI (Artificial Intelligence)? According to Forbes.com by 2030 an estimated 92 million jobs will be displaced by AI (Artificial Intelligence), but the same report indicates that 170 million new jobs will be created because of AI(Artificial Intelligence).  They also added that you should see expected growth including farm workers, delivery drivers, construction workers, salespeople and food processing workers. So, does this mean people may need to reinvent themselves to prepare for the new AI(Artificial Intelligence) jobs? 

 

4.      20 Jobs Created by AI (2025)

Twenty jobs created by AI(Artificial Intelligence) include the following:   AI (Artificial Intelligence)Prompt Engineer, AI Model Trainer, AI Ethics Consultant, AI Behavior Analyst, Synthetic Medica Designer, AI Integration Specialist, Digital Twin Architect, AI Safety Analyst, Human-AI Collaboration Facilitator, Generative AI Educator, AI-Powered Content Curator, AI- Generated Experience Designer, AI-Accountability Auditor, AI Personalization Strategist, Data-Ecosystem Manager, Generative AI Voice Coach, AI Storyteller, AI-Enhanced Productivity Coach, Emotion Recognition Specialist, and AI Bias Remediation Specialist are all talked about at roboticsbiz.com.   

 

5.      Should Movie Actors be concerned?

The Movie “Sweet Idleness” is a new production led by an AI (Artificial Intelligence) Agent as director, involving digital actors created from real people, and applied to the project.  According to msn.com.   They further add that this is not intended to replace traditional cinema, but rather it is an alternative method of creation.  Yet Variety.com states that the acting guild believes ‘creativity is, and should remain, human-centered and is opposed to the replacement of human performers by synthetics.  This is something to think about.  AI (Artificial Intelligence) has already been infiltrated into the schools, the hospital, the television, telephones, and much more.   Still, it is not human, and humans must oversee these applications.  Even when writing the auto-correct is not human it does not know so human intervention is needed.

 

6.     AI (Artificial Intelligence) Inventing Its Own Language

Did you know that in 2017 during a Facebook research experiment instead of AI bots sticking to proper English, the bots began modifying their speech in ways that were more efficient for them but incomprehensible to humans. Facebook researchers then ended the experiment and required the bots to use English for transparency and easier monitoring. So just know that many of the chat boxes are learning from us and adapting.

 

7.     Stocks and Bonds AI (Artificial Intelligence)

Have you purchased stocks and bonds lately?  Good news for AI (Artificial Intelligence) investors is that bond deals from Big Tech companies have been in high demand, suggesting that investors are confident in the ability of those companies to monetize AI (Artificial Intelligence) and satisfy their obligations.   Morningstar.com talks about this.  They further added that the AI (Artificial Intelligence) bubble can last for years because public pension funds, fueled by tax-receipt inflows, and insurance companies are among the biggest buyers of investment-grate corporate bonds, as they look to pick up yields that are higher than their income growth mandates.

 

8.      30% AI (Artificial Intelligence Rule)

Do you know what the 30% AI (Artificial Intelligence) Rule is? Cococoders.com talks about this rule.  This rule is a simple guideline designed to help students (and adults!) use AI (Artificial Intelligence responsibly.  So, when you are creating something-whether it is an essay, a project, or a piece of code-no more than about 30% of the work should come directly from AI (Artificial Intelligence) tools; the remaining 70% should come from the learner’s own ideas, research, and effort.  I would say that is a good rule.

Did You Know- The Book of Enoch?

Have you ever questioned why the book of Enoch was removed from the Bible?   Do you know the reason that was given?  What happened during the book of Enoch?

 

Remember This:

***Intentional***

 

1.      Why was the Book of Enoch Removed?

In Genesis 5:21-24 it states that Enoch’s fathered Methuselah and Enoch walked with God for 300 years after Methuselah’s Birth.   Methuselah live to be 969 years, Genesis 5:27. According to neverthirsty.org., Jesus and the apostles never called it scripture, therefore it was not viewed as authoritative since it was not the Word of God.  What were some of the things mentioned in the book of Enoch?

 

2.      Did Noah have Glowing Eyes?

Chapter CVI:  vs 5 And he said unto him, “I have begotten a strange son, diverse from and unlike man, and resembling the sons of the God of heaven; and his nature is different, and he is not like us, and his eyes are as the rays of the sun, and his countenance is glorious.  This is according to sacred-texts.com.  People mention glowing eyes.

 

3.      The Watchers

The Book of Enoch (1-36) describes the Watchers—angels sent to observe humans—of whom 200 violated their orders by having relations with humans, resulting in the Nephilim race.   They further added that the watchers taught humans writing, weaponry, reading, sorcery, cosmetics, and meteorology.

4.      The Third Parable 1 Enoch 64-71

Chapters 64-69, as described by readingacts.com, cover the flood's judgment, the fallen angels' sins, and predictions of world destruction.   They further added that the flood will be a poison to the kings and princes of the world because they deny “the spirit of the Lord.”

 5.     The Book of Methuselah

106.13 stated that “The Lord will do new things on Earth, and this I have already seen in a vision, and made known to you.” “For in the generation of my father, Jared, some from the height of Heaven transgressed the word of the Lord, departing from the covenant of Heaven. 

 

6.       Sounds like Heaven and Hell

Chapter 18 talks about Enoch’s vision of seeing stones reaching to heaven like the throne of God, alabaster, and the summit of the throne was of sapphire.  He describes witnessing a blazing fire and a vast abyss filled with columns of heavenly flames, falling without sky or solid ground, devoid of water or birds—a barren and terrifying scene.  

 

7.      How Old Was Enoch?

According to the oldest.org., he did not live quite as long as the other men on this list as he was taken by God when he was 365 years old, which makes him one of the only people other than Elijah that God took to heaven without them dying. Can you imagine living to be 365 years old? Presently people are living to 119 years today.  In fact, Kane Tanka, was one of the world’s oldest persons to die in Japan at aged 119 according to Cnn.com.  They further added that she was married to a rice shop owner at the age of 19, worked in the family store until she was 103, the second oldest person ever recorded, behind only Jeanne Calment who lived to the age of 122.  I can only imagine. 

 

8.      Was Enoch a Prophet?

Was Enoch a Prophet?   Some individuals affirm that he was indeed.  Baptist.net states Enoch foretold the future, walked with God, pleased God, and had life beyond the grave.

 

9.      Was Enoch Taken to Heaven without Dying?

Genesis 5:24 (New International Version) States that Enoch walked faithfully with God; then he was no more, because God took him away.  Just imagine being taken up into Heaven.

 

Enoch’s Childhood

Have you ever wondered about Enoch’s Childhood?   What was it like?   There is not a lot of mention about his Enoch’s childhood, but at age 65 he fathered Methuselah.   According to buildingfaithfamilies.org., he seemingly became a changed man.  Genesis 5:21-22. (New International Version) When Enoch had lived 65 years, he became the father of Methuselah  After he became the father of Methuselah, Enoch walked faithfully with God 300 years and had other sons and daughters.

Sometimes having children can change people.  I remember a conversation with a friend that shared he had done drugs and misled others that followed him with the life of drugs, but after he had his first child which was a daughter he knew he had to change.   He shared when he saw his baby girl for the first time, he knew it was time to change and he did.   That was a powerful testimony that I will always remember.  It just shows what we will do for our children.   

I recall that during my upbringing, neither of my parents were involved with the church. I discovered church when I saw my neighbors taking their children to church and I wanted to go.  I wanted to see what church was about.  I started reading at age 3.   I was thirsty.   We had no books in our home.   But we did have a Bible.   I would read it.   I wanted to know more about God.  When I became an adult, I made sure to take my children to church, I wanted them to know about God and the church. I even had everyone of them dedicated to God as babies.  

Have you had children and decided you wanted to become a better person because of it?   Have you had children and decided you wanted to be the best example for them that you could?   It appears that Enoch had that sentiment when he had Methuselah.

How to Keep Your Memory Sharp

  

 

 

 

 

What the World Needs Now (Is Love)

Would you agree that the worlds needs more love? Can you think of a moment that you saw Love in action? Do you know the difference between love and hate?

Strong Action

***Good News***

1. 1 Corinthians 13:4-8

Love is patient, love is kind, it does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5^th vs. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs, Vs. 6^th Loves does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth, Vs. 7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always preserves.

Now think about it. Are we seeing enough love throughout the world? Could the world give more love? Think about the homeless. Think about the wars. What abut the war between Russia and the Ukraine?

2. Pure Love

What is pure love? Is pure love about loving others just as much or more than you love yourself? What do you believe Pure Love to be? When I married, I requested the song “Pure Love” by Dottie Peoples to be played as guests arrived. It was a small wedding, but there is something about this song. Dottie talks about loving others like you love yourself. I am the first to confess that I am guilty of not always having pure love. Do you oft times think of yourself first rather than someone else? Do you sometimes say if I give this then I will not have enough for myself?

I recall going with my daughter to pick up her children from school one day. As my grandchildren got off the bus, there were only 2 of them instead of 3. My daughter asked my grandchildren where their brother was. This is their reply, “ I don’t know.” Their action showed they were not their brother’s keeper. My daughter frantically ran in front of the bus not in back of but in front of in an attempt to stop the bus driver after she drove off. When the bus drive stopped my daughter discovered my grandson had fallen asleep on the bus. We were thankful that he was okay. Today my 3 grandchildren are more like triplet siblings rather than older brother and twins; and they are very close and protective of each other.

I have often spoke about this in the past. When my 4-year-old granddaughter wanted to practice tying her tennis shoes, she asked her twin brother could she practice on him. He replied, “No.” She sucker punched him to my surprise.

I scolded her and told her to apologize. Not knowing what his response would be he just grabbed her and hugged her and told her, “That is okay, I love you.” I was so amazed, surprised, and happy at the same time.

3. Genesis 4:9

Then the Lord said to Cain, “Where is your brother Abel?” “I don’t know, “He replied, “Am I my brother’s keeper?” Have you found yourself saying the same thing or possibly heard another say this?

4. Church Body

Do you recall the Pandemic? When it occurred there were those attempting to continue Church services and they were dying. Thank goodness for the internet we were able to have church online. There was great emphasis that the church is in us not in a building. My pastor always emphasizes that we are the body of the church. we all have a function, and when one hurts we all hurt. Pastor has used the analogy that if your arm or leg is hurting you don’t just cut it off you attempt to save it.

5. Acts of Random Kindness

Did you know that according to randomactsofkindness.org. It started more than 40 years ago.  In 1982 an activist Anne Herbert published the first known account of “Practice Random Acts of Kindness and Acts of Senseless Beauty. This act of kindnessmovement has spread throughout this world in various and different ways. There are so many random acts that I could not name them all. Random acts might include, giving someone free coffee, free dinner, a new car, smiling at a stranger, giving positive comments, and much more. The list could go on and on. How many ways of random acts of kindness can you think of?

6. 4 Types of Love

Did you know that there are 4 types of Love? There is Eros: erotic or sexual or passionate love, which isn’t always good for you, and it is addictive. There is Philia; Love of Friends and equals. Storge: Love of Parents for Children. Agape: Love of Mankind. This kind of love is love without any self benefits and love that is given whether or not it’s returned. These types of love are according to Healthcare.utah.edu. At some time during your life you may have experience one or all of the types of love described above. Do you remember what it felt like when you recalled it?

7. Love Is a Verb

Love is an action word. Why is action important in love? Would you agree that love is a verb? According to mind.body.align.com love is an action-word.   Love must be demonstrated; it must be acted out and acted upon. Have you given any thought to that? A person can tell you they love you constantly, but do their actions match their words. Animals especially dogs are very perceptive. When they have been mistreated and the new owner finds this dog and shows  the dog love, that dog responds. The dog might not respond right away because he is suspicious, but in time he sees and feels the love that the new owner gives to him. I saw this in a dog that my daughter now has. The dog is so much different and outgoing than she was in the beginning. You can learn a lot from watching the actions of animals. How have you seen love in action lately?

The Positive Challenge

 

Are We Alone?

 

Why Do You Use Social Media?

 

 

Wear Pink in October

There are so many ways that you can support Breast Cancer Awareness.  Pause and observe your surroundings.   Use what you have.

 

Hope Is Stronger

***Intentional***

 

1.      Wear Pink

Did you know that you can wear pink to support Breast Cancer Awareness? Men can wear pink also.  Men can have Breast Cancer as well as women.  What about wearing a pink shirt, pink ribbons, or pink earring?   Have you considered organizing a Wear Pink Day at work, school, or church?  

2.      Fundraisers

Do you like to do fundraisers?  Do you like to bake?  How about having a bake sale, do fitness classes or even online donation drives?   All the proceeds can go to Breast Cancer research. 

3.      Invitations

Why not invite a professional to talk at your school about Breast Cancer?  Or better yet invite a Breast Cancer survivor to speak and tell their story to the class?

4.      Care Packages

Care packages or cards with words of encouragement sent to a Cancer Patient can be very inspiring.  This is a time in their lives that it is very much needed, because Cancer not only affects the patient, but it affects their entire family.   The support from many is very much needed.   This is a time that their faith may be  tested.  

5.      Words of Encouragement

You never know when your words of encouragement can help another.   I remember when my relative told me she had found a cancerous lump.   Her friend was crying.  My initial statement was, "We will overcome this challenge."   I believed that God would see her through, and He did just that.  She has been cancer free for numerous years now.  I had no idea how this would affect our family.   I accompanied her to every chemotherapy session, talking with her and other patients there.   I even met a man that was there being treated for Breast Cancer.   At the time it never occurred to me that men get Breast Cancer as well   as women.  

My relative had very young children at the time.  I cared for them as much as possible.  She further informed the school that I would be serving as a temporary substitute for upcoming teacher conferences and any other scheduled school events involving the children.   I didn't know how this would affect our family.   I believed we would get through this, and we did.  Though treatment lasted several weeks, it felt endless to me.

Because our bodies are subject to wear and tear, it is important to take care of our temple as best as we can.   Even with careful attention to health and lifestyle, illness can still affect individuals.   It is not just adults, but you see everyday babies and little ones with Cancer. 

6.       Applaud Breast Cancer Survivors

Do you know of any Breast Cancer Survivors?   They are to be applauded.  Surviving Cancer is a big ordeal.  There are so many residual effects left after Chemotherapy.  The sad part about this also is that chemo kills cancer, but it also kills the body’s good cells.  God has made our bodies so wonderful that the body can grow new cells and this is wonderful. 

7.       Redbubble.com

Breast Cancer Awareness will be observed throughout the month of October.   

  

Anointedtoday/Redbubble

 

 All sales from Anointedtoday/Redbubble this month will be donated to breast cancer research.  

8.      Profile Banner

Have you thought about changing your profile banner on your social media accounts to promote Breast Cancer Awareness?

 

9.      Your Office or Your Home

Do you have a designated space in your home where you can decorate In pink for Breast Cancer Awareness?  What about decorating your office in pink?

 

Pink Jewelry or clothing is an option as well?   Do you have a pink suit that you could wear to the office?  

 

Sleeping Cells 

What are sleeping Cancer cells?  Some breast cancer cells are able to survive treatment and spread to other parts of the body.   There they can enter a “sleep” state before waking up and causing the cancer to return.  According to worldwidecancerresearch.org., these cancer cells can be hard to destroy even with chemotherapy.  They further added that Dr. Sirio Dupont and his team in Italy have found a new way to target these sleepy cells and stop the cancer spreading.

 

Donations

Because there is still so much more to know about destroying Cancer research is most definitely needed.  Donations help to support that research.  

 

*Maximizing Your Knowledge*

 

Chemo Brain (Brain Fog)

Are you aware of brain fog after Chemotherapy?   I have talked about this before.   Brain fog is just one of the side effects of Chemotherapy.  Nearly all medicines cause side effects.  Mayoclinic.com talks about this. Some of the effects of brain fog may include trouble recalling what you have said to others, short-term memory issues, trouble finding the right words, trouble doing more than one thing at a time, mental fog, and short attention span.

What Can you do if you experience Chemo Brain after Chemotherapy?  You can do regular physical exercise, quality sleep, good nutrition, cognitive exercises, mindfulness, meditation, and four-dimensional breathing.  Cognitivegxusa.com provides information on this topic.   

 

Multi-tasking with Chemo Brain

Do you really want to attempt multi-tasking with Chemo Brain?  Multi-tasking is often encouraged, but it doesn't always lead to greater productivity.  If you are experiencing mental fog, consider implementing strategies such as listing your priorities, segmenting tasks into manageable components, disabling phone and email notifications, creating reference materials, taking thorough notes, utilizing a single notebook, scheduling dedicated planning sessions, and incorporating regular breaks throughout your day. That is according to southerncancercenter.com.  They further added that research indicated that very few people (approximately 2%) can multi-task effectively, regardless of their health, age, etc. It’s best to focus on one task at a time. 

 I agree with that because there are some days multi-tasking is not a part of my agenda. Sometimes you act automatically without being fully aware of your actions.    Have you ever locked your car door, only to immediately wonder, "Did I lock my car?"

 

  Please share how you promote Breast Cancer Awareness.
