The Simplicity and Beauty of Thanksgiving
Happy Thanksgiving 2025Tomorrow is Thanksgiving. Contrary to popular opinion, the first Thanksgiving really wasn’t about Native Americans and the Pilgrims bonding and sharing each of their respective delicacies. And I doubt that the Pilgrims had big shiny belt buckles that matched their glossy shoes with smaller matching but equally shiny buckles.
The truth is the Pilgrims sought a new land where they could freely practice their devotion to God and to follow the laws of their God. They recognized that all they possessed was a gift from their Maker and that they should take the time to be thankful.
This is the essence of Thanksgiving.
It still is.
