I'm not sure how knowledgeable you are about Thanksgiving. For some of you it may mean nothing more than turkey and football. For others it may mean getting together with family that you hardly ever see. For some it may mean thanking God for the gifts and blessings He's given you. I enjoy all of the above. I look forward to getting with both my side of the family and Stephanie's side to enjoy food and talk about what's been going on in our lives. We always have great food, and lots of it.
You probably know that the original Thanksgiving involved the "Pilgrims" and the "Indians", and sharing a feast, but you may not know the events that led up to this event. Ever heard of "Squanto"? Simply put, without Squanto there likely wouldn't have been a Thanksgiving. This CNN clip is an interview with a guy who wrote a children's book on Squanto. The book looks great.
I enjoyed this interview and hope you do as well.
It may seen appropriate to lift up Squanto for who he was and what he did, which is a good thing if done in the right way. I think a better approach is to thank God for what He did through Squanto. Squanto was a great man who accomplished a lot, but I believe it was because there was a great God who was working through him.
I hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving!
