"Five kernels of corn". This is mind boggling. Mr. Jerry Stuart on KGMI radio described the difficult conditions our forefathers faced upon setting in America. Their food rations lowered to the dismal 5 kernels of corn at one point, until things improved with Squanto's help in agriculture.
The next year in December 1621 they decided to hold the Thanksgiving feast. Their first course: 5 kernels of corn. It was a reminder of what they'd been through and what God had lead them out of.
I think this is a very biblical practice, so many Psalms look back on past circumstances and how the Lord brought them out onto green pastures. How many times I focus on just the five kernels and forget the green pastures and feasting periods in the present and the past. What an example for our ancestors to pass down to us.
Thank you Lord for blessing our nation with such a rich history of precious examples! May we never forget to look back on what you have done for our fathers.
