Thankful!!

We all learned in elementary school about the hardships that the pilgrims endured in their first few months of arriving here. Mike shared with me an email he had received this week from the Presidential Prayer Team that I can't help but keep going back to.

Here is what it said:

"....The Pilgrims dug seven times more graves than they were able to build homes that winter....However, the Pilgrims made a choice that we might find unusual. After a year of disappointments, diseases and death, the choice was to be thankful. These hearty settlers chose to celebrate their blessings. Think about that for just a moment. Through all of the incredible hardships and sorrows, they gave thanks."

Wow! Even under such horrible conditions and hardships, these people stood on their faith and were able to see what God had done - A timeless lesson that is still relevant 388 years later.

Happy Thanksgiving from our house to yours!!
