I’m amazed by how much we’ve forgotten of our own history – if you noticed, I did include myself.  Here’s a little clip  to give some perspective on the Pilgrims and the hardships they went through.  After watching it, ask yourself what might have happened if the Pilgrims were held personally responsible for their own shelter/food from the very first moment they landed?  Would those first two years be different?

The Pilgrims truly had a reason to be grateful.
