Here’s a fun new tradition I hope to do tomorrow. Light a candle for the center of the table, and then take turns going around the table sharing a highlight of the previous year, or how you saw the hand of God in your life in the previous year. Just as God helped the Pilgrims with different provisions, He is helping you. Here is what I noticed two years ago a few days after Thanksgiving. If you have time and a small group, I would do all that after reading the book below which shows the hand of God in John Howland’s life. He was one of the passengers on the Mayflower, who fell off, but then was rescued. I’ve put the video of it below if you don’t have the book.
