God's Provision
Notes
Transcript
The words "harvest" and "thanksgiving" are linked together in many cultures. Most who till the soil know that our feeble human efforts do not produce crops; crops require sun and rain and other variables that are beyond our control. The early settlers and the indigenous people they found here also recognized the importance of God's provision for survival.
Hundreds of years later, a commemorative meal serves as a reminder for us to thank God for those things necessary for our survival.
