I have read of some who are loathe to celebrate #Thanksgiving, because of later injustices done to the native Americans. The issue is succinctly summed up by Michael Medved for PragerU:
What’s the Truth about the First Thanksgiving?

An accusation I have seen, coincidentally all on secular and ideologically radical biased media outlets, is that the natives who shared in the first Thanksgiving with the Pilgrims were afterwards slaughtered by them.
What could be the motive for spreading so egregious a lie? Everywhere we look, we see a flood of words with, it seems, a dual focus of tearing down both our biblical foundations and our patriotic spirit in American history and institutions.
And the serpent cast out of his mouth water as a flood after the woman, that he might cause her to be carried away of the flood. Rev 12:15
This symbolic language pictures a flood from the enemy’s mouth; for it is words that come from mouths. And this notation occurs in the very chapter of Revelation dealing with the arrival of the children of God in America!

The fact is the peace treaty between the natives and the Pilgrims of Plymouth was unbroken for over fifty years, or in other words, for the entire duration of that first generation of Pilgrim Fathers and Mothers.

Seriously!! Why is it that we seem to always want to do as our friends do? We dive right into their lives and their ways as if the things they do, the words they speak, the actions they take, are right! But are they? Man is flawed...so very flawed. Personally, if I'm going to spend a moment of my life following in the ways of anyone, it's going to be in HIS Ways! You can't go wrong if you walk as Yeshua/JESUS Walked and the Scriptures tell us just how to do that!!
Yeshua/JESUS isn't looking for you to be like other believers...
HE is looking for you to be like HIM...

Esau was a man of passion. That's not necessarily a bad thing. Any self-help guru will tell you passion is necessary for success. It just needs to be balanced with self restraint.
