feast!

we have really enjoyed studying the beginnings of our nation this thanksgiving season. i've probably enjoyed it the most. i know i learned these things way back when i was a young one but it's totally different reviewing it now through my adult eyes. 

we studied the ins and outs of the pilgirim's trip to the US along with the first few years after they landed. we studied a bit of what life was like for the pilgrims and imagined we lived then and how different life would be. 

we also studied quite a bit about Squanto and the miraculous journey as our sovereign God weaved his story through history. what an awesome story and picture of God's provision and plan! 

we had a feast with all of our friends yesterday to celebrate all that God has done and will do. we are learning better how to be thankful for one another and everything He gives.
