WHAT IS NOV. 22ND

 

 

FOR THOSE WHO DON'T KNOW NOV. 22-
THANKSGIVING IS A HOLIDAY CELEBRATED THE LAST THURSDAY IN THE MONTH OF NOVEMBER. THANKSGIVING IS THE NATIONAL HOLIDAY IN RECOGNITION OF IT BEING FOUNDED. JOHN PLYMOUTH LEFT ENGLAND IN SEARCH OF A NEW COUNTRY TO WORSHIP JESUS WITHOUT PERSECUTION.

　

JOHN PLYMOUTH CELEBRATED HIS FIRST YEAR IN THE NEW COUNTRY-AMERICA- WITH HIS FOLLOWERS, CALLED PILGRIMS. AMERICANS CALL THAT SPECIAL DAY "THANKSGIVING." THE PILGRIMS HAD TO FIGHT THE ENVIRONMENT TO SURVIVE. THIS CONSISTED OF WEATHER, THE LANCSCAPE WITH NEW DANGEROUS ANIMALS AND INDIANS. A LOT OF ARTISTS HAVE DRAWN PICTURES OF THE FIRST THANKSGIVING. MOST PICUTRES SHOW INDIANS SITTING AT A TABLE EATING WITH THE PILGRIMS. ON THE TABLE IS A TURKEY AND, GENERALLY, A CORNUCOPIA. THE INDIANS DEFINE THE VICTORY JOHN PLYMOUTH AND THE PILGRIMS WON OVER IN COMING TO A NEW COUNTRY TO WORSHIP JESUS. THE CORNUCOPIA REPRESENTS THE BOUNTIFUL VEGETATION THE PILGRIMS FOUND ON THEIR NEW LAND. THE TURKEY IS ONE OF THOSE "NEW" ANIMALS IN AMERICA.

I LOVE THANKSGIVING. IT'S THE ONE U.S. HOLIDAY THAT RECOGNIZES GOD. EVERYONE STOPS FOR ONE DAY TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE GOD WHO STARTED THE U.S. THAT GOD IS THE CHRISTIAN GOD. HINDU, BUDDHIST, MUSLIM, NEW AGE... ALL RECOGNIZE THE CHRISTIAN GOD IN AMERICA ON THANKSGIVING. THEY CAN'T DENY THE CHRISTIAN GOD. IT'S WRITTEN DOWN IN AMERICAS' HISTORY.

THANK YOU GOD FOR SENDING JOHN PLYMOUTH TO START AMERICA, A COUNTRY STARTED TO WORSHIP JESUS. IN AMERICA THERE IS A MONUMENT CALLED "PLYMOUTH ROCK." THIS IS A REPRESENTATION OF WHERE JOHN PLYMOUTH DROPPED HIS ANCHOR TO START AMERICA. CHRISTIANS IN AMERICA REFER TO THE "PLYMOUTH ROCK" WITH SCRIPTURE. (MATT. 7:24-27) SYNOPSIS-BUILD YOUR HOUSE UPON THIS ROCK AND IT WILL STAND IN THE STORM. JESUS IS THE ROCK. AS AMERICA WAS STARTED AS A PLACE TO WORSHIP JESUS WITHOUT ANY PERSECUTION, JESUS HAS KEPT THE COUNTRY STRONG ALL THESE YEARS. THE "HOUSE" HAS STOOD STORMS AND HASN'T FALLEN INTO ANY SINKING SAND.

AS THE BIG DAY DRAWS NEAR, EVERYONE IN AMERICA PREPARES FOR THANKSGIVING, WITH A TURKEY. ON THAT SPECIAL DAY EVERYONE CONSIDERS WHAT THEY ARE THANKFUL FOR. THEIR LIST USUALLY INCLUDES: FAMILY, FRIENDS, NON-MONETARY ITEMS, HEALTH, NEW JOB... AN AMERICAN CONSIDERS THE BLESSING FROM GOD. AS JOHN PLYMOUTH THANKED GOD ON THE FIRST THANKSGIVING FOR SURVIVING IN A NEW LAND; AMERICANS ACKNOWLEDGE A BIG "THANK YOU" DURING THAT SPECIAL DAY.
