Thanksgiving

The was a man named Joseph and another man named Squanto, or Tisquantum, and strangely enough they are connected. Joseph was a brother of 12, whose father highly favored him, but he was so despised by his brothers that they fake killed him, and sold him into slavery. Squanto was kidnapped from America and sold as a slave in England. Both had to lean new languages, both were separated from their families. Both were educated and excelled at their educations. Tisquantum longed to be returned to America, and finally through Christian Englishmen, who bought his freedom, helped send him back. When he arrived his entire tribe was decimated by a disease probably brought by other whites, or English. Joseph was delivered from his prison eventually to interpret a dream Pharaoh had. His dream was a warning that there was going to be 7 years of plenty and 7 years of drought. Joseph was given the task of saving all the people by storing up grain for 7 years. Tsquantum, because he now spoke perfect english, came to a white settlement and communicated to the settlers ways of having enough food for the coming winter, which if he had not, possibly all would have died. In thanks, the whites invited Tisquantum and his new tribe to a celebration that lasted days, playing games, and eating a feast. God saves, He delivers, He rescues. He uses all things for good for those that love Him and are called according to His purposes. This morning my wife and I prayed, and we thanked God for His faithfulness of bringing us through all the betrayal, sickness, and trials of these last 9 months. God has birthed a new ministry from it. He has delivered my wife from cancer, and He has faithfully sustained us miraculously without a pay check. We have much to be thankful for. Thank You Lord so much. What people meant for evil, You have used for good, throughout history, and in our history. You are a good God, and we are thankful. In Jesus name, God bless you all, this day, and everyday. May you receive His blessings, amen.
