Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!

"Give thanks to the Lord,for He is good; His love endures forever."
Psalm 107:1

May your home be Blessed,
Your Love be Rewarded,
And your life enriched this Thanksgiving!

It just so happens that I'm learning about Thanksgiving in my Social Studies right now. So I'll share with you, in my own words, what it says.

Thanksgiving was first celebrated my the Pilgrims after about a year in the new world. They had plenty of corn ready for harvesting, they had made friends with the Indians, the rivers and streams had plenty of fish for them to eat, the woods around them had plenty of animals to hunt for, and they decided to have a day or two just to thank the Lord for all He had done for them.

Preparations for the first harvest celebration began. Four settlers went out hunting and brought back enough wild turkeys to feed the settlers for almost a week! The women and children went gathering eels, lobsters, and shellfish from the shores of the bay.

They invited the Indians to their Thanksgiving feast. Chief Massasoit arrived with ninety hungry Indians and it looked as if there wouldn't be enough food, but the chief sent hunters out into the woods and they later came back with five deer.

They not only had plenty of meat, but they had plenty of vegetables. And since they had plenty of corn, the made they used some corn to make cakes.

The celebration lasted for three days - three days of relaxing, games, and thanking God. They sang praises to God, prayed often, and listened to their governor, Governor Bradford, as he read the Bible.

And that was the first Thanksgiving! :)


So Thanksgiving is all about thanks that we give to God. Because we have so much to be thankful for.

But Thanksgiving can be fun too!...

I hope you have a great Thanksgiving Day!
