Why do we celebrate Thanksgiving?

That's the question we asked our kids when they were little, Why do we celebrate Thanksgiving? 

To be honest, I'm not sure how I would have answered that question when I was a kid. I mean, I knew it had something to do with pilgrims and a boat and a big dinner to show their thanks. When we were little, the Wednesday before Thanksgiving was spent at church, participating in a service of thanksgiving. I knew that Thanksgiving was an opportunity to say, thank you, but thank you for what?

Sure we say things like, we're thankful for the blessings we've experienced, but are we really? Do we know enough about that first Thanksgiving and the events that preceded it to know why they were so thankful?

I definitely did not.
The most I think I ever knew about the Pilgrims was that they came "over" on some boats, set up a village, meet some American Indians, and have a dinner to say thanks. Not much of a history lesson. But that's what makes, Thanksgiving, A Time to Remember, by Barbara Rainey so amazing. In her book, Barbara tells the incredible story of courage, struggles, suffering, loss, and faith.

Complete with names, dates, details, and person accounts from journals, Thanksgiving, A Time to Remember, provides an accurate sharing of the Pilgrims journey, challenges, and celebration. It's a story of faith and how God continued to protect, provide, and care for the Pilgrims.


The book includes a CD with songs of worship and praise that will call your hearts to thankfulness. It's the perfect soundtrack for your Thanksgiving dinner.

"It's a wonderful opportunity to enrich your family's awareness of our nation's Christian heritage, provide models of courage and sacrifice for your children, and establish a tradition of sharing your gratefulness with one another, which will build a legacy of memories for the future." - Amazon description.
