We Virginians know the first Thanksgiving was celebrated in Virginia at Berkley Plantation before the Pilgrims even came to this land... But we will defer to our neighbors from the north in true Christian and Southern style... The Passage from the Bible that inspired the Pilgrims is from Deuteronomy 8 and goes like this, "For the LORD thy God bringeth thee into a good land, a land of brooks of water, of fountains and depths that spring out of valleys and hills; A land of wheat, and barley, and vines, and fig trees, and pomegranates; a land of oil olive, and honey; A land wherein thou shalt eat bread without scarceness, thou shalt not lack any thing in it; a land whose stones are iron, and out of whose hills thou mayest dig brass.
When thou hast eaten and art full, then thou shalt bless the LORD thy God for the good land which he hath given thee." Deuteronomy 8:7-10 Our Father has blessed us north, south, east and west...with abundance. For that we are a grateful people and a grateful nation. Blessed be the Name of the Lord. Amen.
