2008-11-26 Unthankful at ThanksGiving

The 7 signs (& photos) of unthankfulness. When doughnuts are ugly, fruits too small, potatoes like a$$es, & turkeys born with a biohazard sign, then ... it's a time of unthankfulness. What to do with the 'un-thankful'?

Some possible signs of unthankfulness:

The doughnuts don't taste well

Actor Jane is acting as if she wouldn't like doughnuts.

The fruits are too small.

Photo: wilbau, like to read in my hand if I'm thankful? ;)

The potatoes look like bu§§s.

The new turkey generation already got
bird-flu warning & biohazard signs inbuilt.

The turkey on the plate looks like ...

... and after you've eaten it, funny things
that aren't funny might happen ...

Some claim, that these things happen,
because Saints are getting jailed ...

... and that the proper Blessing Machines
don't work like they did in ancient times.

Sooooo ... actually the pics tell it all. Unthankfulness or Ungratefulness as the refusal to recognise debts; to feel to have the right for every thing, and for the best without to many or any obligations.

'Guilty' of Unthankfulness are the 'Lovers of Themselves' (the selfish ones, the self-centered and self-absorbed ...), the Lovers of Money and the Proud Boasters.

Not to forget the Blasphemers (the railers, defamers and abusers) with a multitude of contemptuous attitudes who like to share the 'bitter words'.

Then there are of course the 'Unholy', all the ones without piety, that are irreverent, irreligious and / or plain wicked. They are lacking the core moral values like honesty, personal responsibility, respect of others, civic duty and are inhuman without natural affection ...just simply hard-hearted.


A quote for this ThanksGiving day is surely this one:
"The unthankful heart... discovers no mercies; but let the thankful heart sweep through the day and, as the magnet finds the iron, so it will find, in every hour, some heavenly blessings!"
Henry Ward Beecher 1813-1887

The above quote comes from a time (was there still slavery in the US?) when the quotation of bliblical scriptures wouldn't lead to an ?uphowling? (German: "AUF-KREISCHEN") of Atheistic community members.
No, no.
People would quote also scriptures like this one:
2 Timothy 3:2 For men will be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy ...
and
Luke 6:35 But love your enemies, and do good, and lend, expecting nothing back; and your reward will be great, and you will be children of the Most High; for he is kind toward the unthankful and evil.

Yeah: "Kind toward the unthankful and evil".
Yes, that seems to be an ... ?- unthankful ? Job?
Well, definitely there's a challenge.
