I Have Learned the Secret to Living....

Hello, Friends. For the past few weeks, I have been posting a lot about the End Times. As we know, that can be a very heavy subject to dwell on. Even though an important one however, since we are getting ready to celebrate Thanksgiving, I want to use the rest of this month on my blog to center on thanking God for his goodness in our lives. I will be posting something each day until the end of this month that will help us remember those things he has given us.

To start off, I want to reprint something (in my own words) from Pinterest (my favorite to go to place for inspirations) that someone else had posted on her own blog. You may go here to find her site, if you wish to read the author's original story:

1-Minute Bible Love Notes: 5 Kernels of Corn 

Our American Heritage started with a group of Pilgrims that fled Britain to come to America to settle in what became Massachusetts. It had been through much hardship that they settled there because they were not equipped with all they needed and many of them had died during their first winter from lack of supplies, food and disease.Things were so bad that they had to even ration their supply of corn, to only allow five kernels per person each day. Things did eventually get better and after crops became more abundant, they started their Thanksgiving celebration by serving each person five kernels of corn in remembrance of what God had provided for them and got them through. 

They understood what Paul had meant when he wrote, 

"I know what it is to live on almost nothing, and to have plenty. I have learned the secret of living in every situation. Whether I am full or I am hungry. For I can do all things through Christ that strengthens me." Philippians 4:12-13.

Indeed, the Pilgrims knew who they could depend on through all they went through, as Paul had. And the author of this story had said that each Thankgiving, she too remembers God's faithfulness at her table by serving the five kernels of corn to her family.

It would do well for us to do the same because we have inheritedd the land that those people fought and died for and many have continued to die for. And more than that, the land that God has given us. As we look around our table,whether we have plenty or little, there are too many people across the world and in our own country would love to have what we have even if we think it isn't much. Because many have nothing. May we stop to thank God for all he has given us. Not one day a year, but every day of the year.

Thanks for coming by, Friends.  Til next time...

God Bless You!
