In the fall (I mean the season) of 1621 at Plymouth, Massachusetts, the Pilgrims of America gathered together for a three day feast. It was a huge thing for them because food had been scarce before--which was because farming was difficult in the new land. But thanks to the guidance of their neighbors, the Wampanoag Indians, and God's providence, they were able to survive in their new land. The Pilgrims were incredibly thankful, and so, a new holiday was created. A day dedicated to thankfulness.
Everyone's been blessed with something. Family that loves you. Friends who support you and encourage you. A house to live in and be safe in. Clothes to keep you warm or cool. Food to eat when you're hungry and water to drink whenever you want. A hobby to entertain and be productive in. And for some, a job to have--a huge blessing in today's economy.
And most importantly: a relationship with God. A relationship that brings peace, joy, and love in your life. To know that there's always Someone who cares deeply about you.
Isn't God good to give us all these blessings? To give us such full lives?
What are you particularly thankful for?
