Instead of blaming the struggles we receive, why don't we all have faith? Believe in God. Isn't that we were taught in our religion?

God never gives us struggles that we cannot overcome, nor He gives us less.

Whatever happens, remember that Families can be together forever, wherever you are. Plus, kids grow up and they move on. It's not like you would never see them again anyway.

Have faith. Believe in God and in HIs power.

This is ironic this is happening at Thanksgiving time. This seems hypocritical of our officials and history. Do they not recognize their very own existence in our history?

The pilgrims came to America in search of religious freedom during the reign of King James 1 of England. Most of the pilgrims were also known as puritans, because they wanted the Church of England to be pure of unbiblical practices. The puritans believed in a personal religious experience, sincere moral conduct, and simply worship services. Puritanism was regarded as dangerous by the King, who was especially offended by the Puritans educating the poor. Puritan church services were broken up. Puritan members of Parliament were imprisoned in the tower of London. The Puritans, (like the Van der Spek’s) fled to America in search of freedom to worship.

The passengers set sail on Sept. 6, 1620 aboard the Mayflower. On Nov. 11, 1620, after 66 days at sea, the Mayflower arrived at Cape Cod in modern-day Massachusetts. The pilgrims wrote and signed the Mayflower Compact, setting up a colony “for the glory of God and advancement of the Christian faith”. They settled as a place called Plymouth. The desperate, hungry pilgrims were saved by the Indians.

Elder William Brewster found references in the Bible in Psalms and Isaiah, to the Jewish practice of offering thanks to God for providing for the people’s needs. A proclamation was issued to hold a special church service and harvest festival with the Indians of Thanksgiving to God for his bounty.

That was the beginning of our first Thanksgiving. At the end of the celebration, Brewster quoted 1 Timothy 4:4 in his benediction. “I thank my God upon every remembrance of you. Every creature of God is good, and nothing is to be refused, if it is to be received with THANKSGIVING.”
