Thanksgiving Beginnings

livethanks — Sat, 26 Nov 2011 19:40:25 +0000

My kids asked me the other day “Why do we celebrate Thanksgiving?” I started to give the traditional pilgrims and turkey answer, but then I realized….I had no idea when it truly all started.

I was so inspired, but not surprised, to find out that the true origin of this wonderful holiday was rooted in God and begun by one our most prominent founding fathers. Take a little time today and click on this manuscript from The Library of Congress and find out how it all started.

NURU

livethanks — Tue, 20 Jul 2010 12:14:47 +0000

Stop what you are doing and check out NURU International. These folks are the real deal and they have a simple, yet vital mission:

They want to end extreme poverty.

Philip Mohochi, the Chairman of Nuru International – Kenya, asks a very simple question that sort of sums up what NURU International is all about. CLICK HERE TO SEE HIS QUESTION.

NURU was started by some very thankful people looking around, seeing a problem and asking “Why?” Then, with some help from above, set out to help. This is what it means to Livethanks.

Thank you to NURU and to Philip for the inspiration. Give back the thanks today by answering Philip’s question and MAKE A DONATION to help end extreme poverty.
