Tidbits of Truth - 6

[Gary Cendroski]

Hey all you wonderful people.With all the history revisionists running rampant these days spewing their bunk to the ignorant and gullible masses, it behooves us of the persuasion of faith in God to be aware of the historical facts available to us that back up the "Christian heritage" of our nation. Though civilizations came and went on the continent before believers in the God of the Bible graced the land, none brought the light to Western civilization as those Pilgrims who sailed over on the Mayflower in 1620. Their contribution to our lives, such as setting the example of giving thanks to God as a people at "the first Thanksgiving" is not legend as our children are being taught by those supposedly in authority, but historical fact."They began now to gather in the small harvest they had, and to fit up their houses and dwellings against winter, being all well recovered in health and strength and had all things in good plenty. For as some were thus employed in affairs abroad, others were exercised in fishing, about cod and bass and other fish, of which they took good store, of which every family had their portion. All the summer there was no want; and now began to come in store of fowl, as winter approached, of which this place did abound.... And besides waterfowl there was great store of wild turkeys, of which they took many, besides venison, etc. Besides they had about a peck a meal a week to a person, or now since harvest, Indian corn to that portion. Which made many afterwards write so largely of their plenty here to their friends in England...."- Of Plymouth Plantation - William Bradford - page 90."Our harvest being gotten in, our Governor [William Bradford] sent four men on fowling, that so we might after a more special manner rejoice together, after we had gathered the fruit of our labours. They four in one day killed as much fowl as, with a little help beside, served the Company almost a week. At which time, amongst other recreations, we exercised our arms, many of the Indians coming amongst us, and amongst the rest their greatest king, Massasoit with some 90 men, whom for three days we entertained and feasted. And they went out and killed five deer which they brought to the plantation and bestowed on our Governor and upon the Captain [Myles Standish] and others." -Edward Winslow's letter of December 11, 1621 to a friend in England as in Mourt's Relation by G. Mourt - pages 60 - 65."And afterwards,the Lord sent them such seasonable showers, with interchange of fair warm weather as, through His blessing, caused a fruitful and liberal harvest, to their no small comfort and rejoicing. For which mercy, in time convenient, they also set apart a day of thanksgiving." - Of Plymouth Plantation - William Bradford - pages 131 & 132.Enjoy yourselves as you carry on the godly tradition of our forefathers.And in everything give thanks at all times as is the wish of our Father in heaven.Happy Thanksgiving.Gary Cendroski

Hey Dick. We have about a dozen videos and books from Wallbuilders. But maybe someone else will read this and pick up on the blessing of that ministry through our recommendation. David Barton couldn't win an Academy Award, but he has a good heart and a lot of knowledge and documentation of our American godly heritage. - Gary
