"Let Us Break Bread Together"
Keeping in mind that we are all related, (research has proven that human beings, all human beings, originated from sub-Saharan Africa), so when we celebrate Thanksgiving this week we should all be breaking bread together.
This is a direct quote from "The Iroquois" by Raymond Bial-
"All the people in a clan considered themselves related,
even if they were originally from a different nation,
even if they were originally from a different nation,
and they remained members of their clan,
or "longhouse family," for life."

I also have an African-American spiritual to share which can be heard (and read) at the following link: http://www.cyberhymnal.org/htm/l/e/letusbbt.htm
Let us break bread together on our knees, (on our knees)
Let us break bread together on our knees. (on our knees)
When I fall on my knees with my face to the rising sun,
O Lord, have mercy on me.
Let us drink wine together on our knees, (on our knees)
Let us drink wine together on our knees. (on our knees)
When I fall on my knees with my face to the rising sun,
O Lord, have mercy on me.
Let us praise God together on our knees, (on our knees)
Let us praise God together on our knees. (on our knees)
When I fall on my knees with my face to the rising sun,
O Lord, have mercy on me.
O Lord, have mercy on me.
Act 2:42And they continued stedfastly in the apostles' doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers.
Happy Thanksgiving and may you celebrate your life with thanksgiving and a grateful and giving heart~
