This week we celebrate Thanksgiving. A day of remembrance for an intrepid group who fled religious persecution in Europe to start a new life in the new world. As Christians we are called to be the modern-day Pilgrims living a lifestyle that distinguishes us from the society around us. We are to be strangers living in a strange land. In Psalms 106:1 it says, “Give thanks to the Lord for he is good, and his love endures forever.” This is what the Pilgrims did that first Thanksgiving. They declared a day to acknowledge what God had done for them, giving thanks for the harvest, their religious freedom, and their lives. Here we are 378 years later commemorating that first Thanksgiving and adding our voices to theirs, praising God for what He has done for us.
