When the Pilgrims held their first Thanksgiving celebration, it wasn’t a new idea. The idea was as old as people’s awareness of their dependence on God.
But, it was a new setting. A group of people far from home, barely settled on a strange shore, surrounded by dangers real and imagined, facing their first New England winter. A remarkable time and place to say “thank you God.”
Whenever earnest men and women pause to express gratitude to God, it's an old idea. But the setting is always new. For whatever we are, whatever the circumstances surrounding our lives, our faith reaches to the Almighty ... realizing anew His power, His love.
Take time this week to say “thank you God.” Worship with your family and friends and remember that first Thanksgiving celebration.
