Every year, our nation celebrates the Thanksgiving holiday. I can remember in grade school the time that the members of our class dressed up as pilgrims and natives as we recalled the story of the community feast in Plymouth, Mass., in the year 1621 after the pilgrim’s tough first year in North America. The traditional story includes the themes of perseverance, cooperation, thanksgiving and trust in Divine Providence.
Most of us at some point or another in our lives have found ourselves either literally or figuratively falling to our knees to cry out, for whatever reason, “God help me!”
