🦃Happy & Blessed Thanksgiving 🙏

🍁🕊 The Biblical Roots of Thanksgiving (Most People Don’t Know This!)

Thanksgiving is the only major U.S. holiday rooted in the Old Testament rhythms of worship. Christmas and Easter point us to the New Covenant—but Thanksgiving takes us back to the foundations of Israel’s walk with God.
It echoes the same themes God gave His people in Scripture:
🌾 Harvest feasts
🙏 Gratitude offerings
🎁 Firstfruits
📜 Covenant remembrance

All of these were part of Israel’s worship system—moments where God’s people paused to look back and say, “Lord, You’ve been faithful.” Many historians believe the Pilgrims saw their journey the same way Israel saw theirs:
Leaving bondage…
Crossing the sea…
Depending fully on God for daily provision…
And gathering to give thanks when He carried them through.

Sukkot—the biblical Feast of Tabernacles—is literally a “feast of thanksgiving.” It’s a celebration of God’s harvest, His protection, and His presence with His people in every season. The Pilgrims didn’t claim their feast was Sukkot, but they recognized the same heartbeat:
God provided.
God sustained.
God kept His promise.

And just as Israel celebrated alongside the foreigners living among them, the Pilgrims and Wampanoag tribe—a people who helped them survive, taught them the land, and contributed to the very harvest they were giving thanks for—shared their feast together in a powerful three days of giving thanks and worship.

As we gather today may our hearts echo the truth God has been speaking for thousands of years: He is the God who leads us, provides for us, and carries us through every wilderness into every new season.

Happy Thanksgiving.
May His presence fill your home, your heart, and every place you gather today. 🍁🕊

“Enter his gates with thanksgiving; go into his courts with praise. Give thanks to him and praise his name.”-‭‭Psalms‬ ‭100‬:‭4‬ ‭
