Am I the only one that notices the impossibility of this image? That turkey (and the platter holding it) is likely close to 30 pounds (or ~15kg), and that elderly woman is holding it out at arm's length as if it's a small plate of peas.
I don't think that platter gets to the center of the table without someone holding it from each end. #NormanRockwell #FreedomFromWant #Thanksgiving

A quotation from Eleanor Roosevelt
It is not only in war, however, that we fight for freedom. One fights for freedom in personal contacts and in many phases of civilian life. When the war is over, the four freedoms will not have been won, we shall simply have dominated their more aggressive enemies. At all times, day by day, we have to continue fighting for freedom of religion, freedom of speech, freedom from fear, and freedom from want — for these are things that must be gained in peace as well as in war. At all times, day by day, we have to continue fighting for freedom of religion, freedom of speech, and freedom from want — for these are things that must be gained in peace as well as in war.
Eleanor Roosevelt (1884-1962) First Lady of the US (1933-45), politician, diplomat, activist

Thomas Manton was an English Puritan. Here he equates an interest in works of mercy with becoming like God. He says this is necessary for those who expect or have received mercy from God. God is mercy. If you don’t want to be like God, this is evidence of your dislike of God.
Do we meet people who want to choose a major, and opt out of one?
How can you remind those who talk of receiving mercy to exercise works of mercy today?
