Happy Thanksgiving

If you are not sure what to be thankful for today, let your heart echo the Puritan author of this prayer from The Valley of Vision.

“The First Thanksgiving at Plymouth” (1914) By Jennie A. Brownscombe

Happy Thanksgiving! I thought it would be appropriate for this Thanksgiving to share a Puritan prayer of praise and thanksgiving. The Pilgrims that landed at Plymouth Rock in Massachusetts were in actuality separatists, the Puritans themselves were not. There were many similarities, however, and I can imagine a similar prayer said at the table of those early settlers. Life was hard, but they still found reasons to be thankful to God and find Him worthy of praise.
