Thanksgiving
When was the first Thanksgiving and who created it?
Thanksgiving is not just a day we celebrate in November here in America. From generation to generation, people have been giving offerings and Thanksgiving in a feast full way, every since about 1440 BC.
This puts a different outlook on the Thanksgiving word and day for me. I will never take another [waking up] [eating] [going to work] or going to sleep with a roof over my head] ever again without thanking God our Lord and Savior along with all the people in our life for everything they have done for us. If it were not for the Lord we would not be able to do the natural talents and actions we do to benefit our lives.
We would not have shoes, clothes, material to build our homes, food for our meals. How would you know to plant seeds? Where would factories have come from? Furthermore how did we know to build the boats to come across the ocean to get where we live now? What would you do if all the jobs were gone tomorrow? Would you be able to live in the class of living you are living now?
To me, Thanking the Lord for the life He created in this world we live in, is a mandatory Thanksgiving day every day.
The first Thanksgiving that I have found documented is in the Holy Bible about 1440 B.C. The book of Leviticus, Chapter 7, Verses 12-15, and Chapter 22, Verses 29-30.
I hope I have shown light for someone today.
