Hi, Fellow Dad!
This is Thanksgiving week…but what if you’re going through a hard time, even suffering troubles and trials? Did the Pilgrims know some secret that we’ve forgotten?
Join me for an exciting taste of that first Thanksgiving as well as recommendations for some of our favorite Thanksgiving books. Start a new holiday tradition with these great family readalouds.
Happy Thanksgiving!

“I cannot but…stand half amazed at this poor people’s present condition;…Being thus past the vast ocean, and a sea of troubles..they had now no friends to welcome them nor inns to entertain or refresh their weather-beaten bodies; ….What could now sustain them but the Spirit of God and His grace?”–William Bradford
“Being thus arrived in a good harbor, and brought safe to land, they fell upon their knees and blessed the God of Heaven who had brought them over the vast and furious ocean, and delivered them from all the perils and miseries thereof, again to set their feet on the firm and stable earth, their proper element.” –William Bradford
“Last and not least, they cherished a great hope and inward zeal of laying good foundations, or least making some ways toward it, for the propagation and advance of the gospel of the kingdom of Christ in the remote parts of the world, even though they should be but stepping stones to others in the performance of so great a work.”–William Bradford
“Little did the Pilgrims know that if they had landed there a few years earlier, they would have been massacred by the Patuxet, one of the fiercest Indian tribes on the American coast. However, the tribe was completely destroyed by a plague in 1617, although historians do not know why.” –William Federer, America’s God and Country, 1994, p. 65.
