Forefather's Day

Okay I know that it is December and that I am kind of talking about Thanksgiving which is in November, but since December 21st is the date when the pilgrims landed at Plymouth Rock in 1620. They celebrated the real Thanksgiving in 1621 though.

One of the reasons our forefathers left England was because they wanted freedom for what they wanted to do. Everyone had to do what the King wanted them to do. None had a choice of their own religion.

As I am writing this my family is getting ready to go to church. Because of them being willing to sacrifice and go to a land far away we are able to have the freedom to worship Jesus today.

Take time to thank God for such a great country. Happy late Thanksgiving and early Christmas!
1 Corinthians 9:19
For though I be free from all men, yet have I made myself servant unto all,that I might gain the more.
