When the Pilgrims first landed in their new land, they were met with less-than-favorable conditions. The winter was cold and harsh and food supplies were sparse. A daily ration of five kernels of corn was provided per person, per day. The following spring, they planted some of that corn and were most thankful when it grew! After a good harvest, they celebrated with a feast and invited their Native American friends to join them. From then on, five kernels always served as a of reminder of their abundant blessings.
As you eat your Thanksgiving meal, may you reflect upon your multiple blessings!
Give thanks to the Lord...
Psalm 136:1
