Last month I visited historic Plymouth, Massachusetts. Standing on the very shore as the weary-worn Pilgrims almost 403 years later was surreal. As I stared at the exact replica of the Mayflower siting in Plymouth Harbor, I was trying to imagine 132 people crammed onto the vessel for 10 grueling weeks. It made me consider their amazing fortitude, their steadfast faith in God to preserve them for the sake of the propagation of the gospel.
It’s no wonder that in 1621, the Pilgrims gathered for a feast of Thanksgiving. Almighty God had miraculously preserved them and bountifully provided for their needs. This year, let’s be sure to thank our good God for all his blessings and provision for us.
