I have had an absolute ball digging through the old negative files from the 1962 Harvest Festival as you can see from the last several weeks of Backward Glance photos. I'm not old enough to remember the festival, but I often hear fond memories from those who recall many happy times during the event which always took place in the fall after the crops were in.
The Harvest Festival was quite famous due to national dignitaries visiting this small town such as in 1960 when President Harry Truman came to Nashville.

Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus. - 1 Thessalonians 5:18
Hello brothers and sisters. We live in a world that constantly tells us we need more. More possessions, more experiences, a bigger house, a faster car. We are conditioned to focus on what we lack rather than what we have. This mindset, rooted in an ungrateful heart, quickly leads to bitterness, envy, and dissatisfaction. It clouds our vision and prevents us from appreciating the abundance of God's blessings that surround us daily.

Thanksgiving not about food? Speak for yourself (relevance: 14.3%, date: Nov 25, 2025)
It is without a doubt, my favorite time on the calendar.
Even though the spring weather and the fact I still have blooming roses a few days before December 1 betrays the season a bit, another year has almost passed.
I love all holidays, but Thanksgiving has been my favorite most of my adult life. Most of us talk about how thankful we are and should be.
I ran across a social media post I made a few years ago because I'd heard and read so many times that Thanksgiving isn't about the food. I replied then and I'll repeat it here -- speak for yourself, brother.
