📝 This Thanksgiving, we’re stepping into one of the most astonishing moments of God’s providence in early American history. 🍂✨
The Pilgrims were grieving a brutal winter, weakened, hungry, and unprepared for a land they didn’t know. Yet God was already arranging provision they couldn’t see. 🙏🌅
That provision arrived through a Native American man named Squanto—a man who endured kidnapping, enslavement, forced travel across oceans, and the devastating loss of his entire tribe. 💔⛓️🌍
History doesn’t record his motives. But it does record his actions: Squanto stepped toward the Pilgrims with generosity, teaching them how to grow food, fish, and survive. His kindness helped an entire community endure. 🌽🐟🤝
This episode reflects on how Squanto’s service stands in contrast to the bitterness his suffering could have produced. And it challenges us—those who follow Jesus—to choose gratitude over bitterness in our own storms. ✨🕊️
Romans 8:28 and 1 Thessalonians 5:18 aren’t just verses; they’re invitations to trust God’s providential care even through the hardest chapters. 📖🔥
Today, friend, let Squanto’s example and God’s providence lift your eyes:
👉 Choose gratitude over bitterness.
👉 Choose mercy over withdrawal.
👉 Choose trust over cynicism.
Happy Thanksgiving. Go love someone with open hands today. 🧡🤲🍂
