Happy Thanksgiving!
Found this on another site. The story of Squanto is the story of God’s providential hand in history in saving the pilgrims…
There is a book called Squanto and Miracle of Thanksgiving written for kids that talks about it:
This entertaining and historical story shows that the actual hero of the Thanksgiving was neither white nor Indian, but God. In 1608, English traders came to Massachusetts and captured a 12-year old Indian, Squanto, and sold him into slavery. He was raised by Christians and taught faith in God. Ten years later he was sent home to America. Upon arrival, he learned an epidemic had wiped out his entire village. But God had plans for Squanto. God delivered a Thanksgiving miracle: an English-speaking Indian living in the exact place where the Pilgrims land in a strange new world.
So for this thanksgiving… remember, if it wasn’t for the Squanto being at the right place at the right time… (God’s providential hand in history) then we probably wouldn’t be here today… or things would be a whole lot different.
