Thanksgiving Day
Thanksgiving is a national holiday celebrated on various dates in Canada, the United States, some Caribbean islands, and Liberia. It’s a day on giving thanks of the blessings of the harvest and the preceding year. It’s an annual national holiday marked by religious observances and a traditional meal including turkey. The holiday commemorates a harvest festival celebrated by the Pilgrims in 1621, and is held in the US on the fourth Thursday in November. A similar holiday is held in Canada, usually on the second Monday in October. For more than two centuries, days of thanksgiving were celebrated by individual colonies and states. It wasn’t until 1863, in the midst of the Civil War, that President Abraham Lincoln proclaimed a national Thanksgiving Day to be held each November. Thanksgiving Day is a national holiday in the United States, and Thanksgiving 2018 occurs on Thursday, November 22.

"If your so-called friends urge you to do something you know to be wrong, you be the one to make a stand for right, even if you stand alone. Have the moral courage to be a light for the others to follow." ~Thomas S. Mons on Not everyone has the same mental thinking as you. Some friends will tell you to do the wrong thing and the others will tell you not to do it because they know it's not the right thing to do. If they are your friends they won't tell you to do something that is worth getting you in trouble. It's nbot easy to find the right friends becasue everyone has different ways that can help you and not help at all.

There isn't much to say when it comes to obedience because not everyone can be obedient nowadays.  Obedience is very important in life because it will determine whether you do good in life or bad. This will make you see the other possibilities you have in life. Obedience is one of the terms you'll have to learn, without it most people could find it very disrespectful that your not showing any obedience towards them.
