For many Thanksgiving is synonymous with a delectable turkey dinner shared with family and friends. It is vacation from school, and it is the start of the Christmas holiday season with Black Friday shopping at retail stores and Black Monday shopping online.
While supporting the economy is an admirable thing to do, we need to keep in mind the origin and true significance of Thanksgiving.
The origin can be traced back to 1623 when Governor William Bradford of the 1620 Pilgrim Colony proclaimed, “All ye Pilgrims with your wives and little ones, do gather at the Meeting House, on the hill… there to listen to the pastor, and render Thanksgiving to the Almighty God for all His blessings.”
Many years later on October 3, 1863, Abraham Lincoln declared by Act of Congress an annual National Day of Thanksgiving “on the last Thursday of November, as a day of Thanksgiving and Praise to our beneficent Father who dwelleth in the heavens.”
To me the meaning of word thanksgiving is the act of acknowledging goodness. It is a simple prayer to God thanking Him for the blessings bestowed on me and my family.
In these times of uncertainty and divisiveness in our country, it is important to celebrate this special holiday by counting our blessings, whether large or small and to retain the original gratefulness to God displayed by the Pilgrims and our founding fathers.
