Origins of Thanksgiving
To find out the origins of Thanksgiving, it is necessary to first look at the Puritans of England who left in search of religious freedom.
On September 16, 1620, 102 Puritans set off for the New World aboard the Mayflower to escape religious persecution from Queen Elizabeth I of England. They reached the port of Plymouth in the New World on December 21, after a 65-day voyage.
However, due to the cold, plague and pneumonia that year, about 46 Puritans had died by the fall of the following year. However, as soon as they arrived in the New World with dreams and hopes, they were the people of vision who first built a church with logs and a school.
With God's guidance, the Puritans were able to farm with the help of the good Indians. In the fall of the following year, they were able to harvest bountiful crops from their fields.
They elected William Bradford as governor, who proclaimed a three-day Thanksgiving feast to the Puritans.
Puritans were able to give thanks to God by piling up various agricultural products such as old pumpkins, corn, and vegetables. In addition, about 90 Indians were invited to blow trumpet with them, and they had time to participate in various races and martial arts demonstrations. The supper included venison brought by the Indians and roasted turkey. They praised and enjoyed the joy of thanksgiving to their heart's content, eating corn bread and cakes, wild plums, dried strawberries, vegetables and sauces. At that time, only four wives and two young teenage girls were surviving, but with the help of Indians and men they were able to prepare a plentiful meal.
This year's farming went very well because God protected me.
As proof of that, we understand the feelings of Nongshim caused by the plunging rice prices and plunging the farmers' rice, but can't it be solved in another way?
It is said that there are 200 million children suffering from hunger.
Even in the midst of poor farming, we offer a service of thanksgiving.
Wouldn't we need more gratitude?

There are too many conditions for gratitude.
1 Thessalonians 5:18 Give thanks in everything.
The object of thanks is God.
I hope it is time to review the conditions of gratitude.
What do we thank God for?
Before discussing the origins of Thanksgiving and the year's crops, I want our lives to become conditions of thanksgiving to God every day.
Psalm 139:14 I give thanks to you, for your creation is marvelous; my soul knows well how marvelous your works are.
Psalm 50:23 Those who offer sacrifices of thanksgiving glorify me; to those who do their deeds right, I will show the salvation of God.
This is the first part of Paul's letter to the Colossians.
I thank God every time I pray.
Faith in Jesus Christ - History of Faith
Love for the Saints - Labor of Love
Hope in Heaven - Patience of Hope
Faith makes work.
Love makes us overcome hardship.
Hope requires patience.
Let's become a person who can offer prayers of thanks whenever they think of us
When you pray for a certain object, there are people who receive a prayer of thanksgiving.
Because there is faith, love, and hope.
A prayer of thanks comes out because we realized God's grace and gave it to us.
To whom do you say 'thank you'?
Ex) Parents, family members, support teachers, missionaries...
The Colossians are expressing their gratitude to those who pray for them because they heard the truth of the gospel and put it into practice.
From the day he realized God's grace, he grew up bearing fruit (6).
They were people who grew up in the gospel.
After receiving the grace and realizing it, I couldn't stay still.
Faith and faith in the gospel are growing.
You can tell by looking at the fruit.
At first they had childlike faith, but they grew up.
Faith, love, and hope grew bigger and bigger.
How far are we growing now?
Are you bearing fruit?
How much fruit you are bearing is in proportion to how much thanks you give to God.
This is because it is evidence of the many blessings received.
David, who wrote many poems of praise and thanksgiving, expressed that the Lord's grace abounds (Psalm 23:5).
fruit of the Spirit
Gal 5:22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law.
As the years of faith deepen, the conditions for gratitude should increase.
The object of thanks is only to God, but by giving grace so that such thanks can come,
Let's become people who have faith, love, and hope in the gospel.
Is it someone who can offer the conditions of the audit?
Or is it someone who is cursed and cursed?
One of them was Epaphra.
Epabra ('Epafra'", Epaphrus) ?똅roth??Paul describes him in Colossians 1:7, 4:12, and Philemon 1:23 as 'servant beloved' or 'one who is a prisoner with me in Christ Jesus'. He was a native of Colossae (Col. 4:12) and founded the church there as Paul's representative (Col. 1:7). His zeal to pray and toil for the believers in Laodicea and Hierapolis would suggest that he also preached the gospel here (Colossians 4:13). When Paul was imprisoned in Rome, he took the news of the Church of Colossae and went to Rome to receive Paul's instructions about the heresy that was spreading there. As a result, Paul wrote the book of Colossians (Colossians 1:7, 8, 4:12). He would have actually lived in prison to serve Paul (Phm. 1:23). He returned with Paul's letter to the Colossians (Colossians). After that, he stayed in Rome with Paul for a while.
The reason the Colossians were able to act like that was because they had such a leader.
Epaphra lived as a servant of Jesus Christ and was imprisoned like Paul.
There was a lot of hard work praying and hard work for the believers.
Colossians 4:12-13 Epaphras from you, servants of Christ Jesus, greets you, who prays for you always, earnestly praying for you that you may stand perfect and confident in all the will of God, who is with you and with those in Laodicea. I testify of much toil for those in Hierapolis.
He was a leader with faith, love, and hope in his life, and he was a man of faith.
He was a faithful servant of Christ.
He was a man who believed in Jesus Christ, had love and hope, and lived by witnessing to it.
bearing the fruit of gratitude

I pray that you will become faithful servants of Christ overflowing with love.
