"As we give thanks, take a few minutes to remind your children and grandchildren of the importance of Thanksgiving, because, odds are, they are not learning the true meaning of this historic celebration in the public schools. Many students are not taught about the Pilgrims’ faith in divine Providence, which inspired their heroic and dangerous journey to America.
The good folks at ColdWater Media have produced the Drive Thru History series in partnership with Focus on the Family and Trinity Broadcasting Network. They have posted a short video about the Pilgrims that you and your children can watch here. (Click on “Happy Thanksgiving” in the upper right corner.) It is remarkable to consider the tremendous adversity the Pilgrims overcame hundreds of years ago. In many ways, our struggles today, as real as they are, pale in comparison.
Regardless of the foolishness that prevails in our schools and our culture in the name of tolerance, we recognize and appreciate what this great day is all about. The Lord has blessed our country beyond our founders’ imaginations, and each generation has contributed to America’s greatness. Great challenges are before us. Like the settlers of so many years ago, we fall to our knees to give thanks to the Lord who watches over and blesses us abundantly. It is with His blessing that America will remain a “shining city upon a hill.” "
