“Great beauty, great strength, and great riches are really and truly of no great use; a right heart exceeds all.”

-Benjamin Franklin

This quote is from one of our founding fathers. What this quote is saying is that luxury isn’t something beautiful and useful, what really is something big is a right heart. A right heart exceeds more than luxuries, money, popularity,etc. What this quote is saying is the right heart is the best of the best. A right heart is what will make you move and do more, but everything else won’t. For example, beauty and having everything won’t get you anywhere. Having a great heart is having different good qualities in one. Having the great heart is what will give you the courage to succeed and do more, you work hard and you earn it. Money can’t buy you everything. Looking back at great successors, they didn’t come from a high income family. To be the wealthiest you must go through the hard. Most of our successors today all were poor and didn’t have much. Education and the right heart led them to their success today.

A great example, to follow up all successors today were not high income families. Based on my knowledge and viewings on others, not everyone had everything in there hands today. Having the right heart gives you courage, determination, confidence, etc to go more in depth for a specific goal. Others who have money will most likely try to buy that. Great beauty, great strength, and great riches are truly in use when they are develop in the right heart. The right heart puts you in obstacle that end up with great open doors and success. A great heart is a great heart, money cant help you succeed in everything.

She personally didn’t keep the money, because she is a believer in god. According to the bible, she knows that stealing and lying is something wrong to do, she followed that. Rachel followed her own personally belief too great a good decision, she choose the right. She knew that returning the money is what will lead to less problems.

Thanksgiving and Thanksgiving Day

Thanksgiving is a day where we celebrate things and how thankful we are for what we have today. Thanksgiving began in 1621, when the Plymouth colonists and Pilgrims had a meal. In 1620 a small ship held the Plymouth colonist carrying more than 100 passengers to seek a new living and freedom. In their journey, they had a weird crossing that eventually led them to the Pilgrims that were located in Massachusetts. The meal occurred when, Pilgrims encountered each other over a discussion over land which was the meal know today as Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving has been celebrated for centuries, but it wasn't really recognize until the 1800’s. In 1863 of the time of the Civil War Abraham Lincoln made Thanksgiving Day to be celebrated every November.
