In 1789, George Washington established Thanksgiving Day in a proclamation filled with references to God, providence, and America’s blessings. His words reveal the spiritual foundation the holiday was built upon.The first Thanksgiving dates back to 1620 when the pilgrims celebrated successful harvests and friendships with Native tribes. They feasted and prayed for 3 days – setting the tone for the tradition. This Christian beginning deeply shaped America.Yet some attack this history today, claiming oppression and racism marred early relationships. The truth is pilgrims and natives forged an alliance that first fall and winter. Without goodwill, the small band of colonists would not have survived.Rather than guilt, early settlers gained from gratitude. We must push back on distortions and celebrate the Christian roots of Thanksgiving. This holiday remains vital because even amidst hardship, we recognize God’s provision. For blessings great and small, we must remember to offer thanks to the Lord.Sharable Episode Links (scroll down or search for this episode):Ryan's Website Buzzsprout LinkMORE FROM RYAN:FREE DOWNLOAD: 21 Days to a Spirit-Led Life Subscribe on YouTubeInstagram LinkedInSubmit a question or topic for the podcast at ryanshoward.com/contactGet Ryan’s eCourse & Coaching ProgramsSupport the show
