This year I am learning so much that I really ought to have already known about the Pilgrims. I started considering much of it when I pondered a long while the choice of the name of Pilgrim for the horse on "Horse whisperer". Today, I have been thinking alot about all things puritan a.k.a pilgrim. And I marvel at how much courage it took, nay, faith. The obeyed a God who would easily been forgotten or ignored given all the hardships. But, they wanted to worship the way they wanted to the point that they left all they had and pretty much gave up everything in order to get that freedom. It sorta reminds me of Jonah. He is an example of trying to disobey, but he still knew God was aware of him and expected him to go to Nineveh.
I like to think I would go and not try to escape or avoid something cause it was hard. Cause, like Jonah, I know that God is aware of me and I need to believe that if he asks something, then he makes it possible. Things looked pretty bleak for the pilgrims. But, Thanksgiving remembers that a way was prepared!
