[QUOTE="Jim Daly with Paul Batura, post: 764"] For a lot of us, Thanksgiving is about family, football, and pumpkin pie. We don’t often reflect on the origin – and therefore the true meaning – of the holiday. Doing so is a great way to deepen our gratitude for the opportunity to live in a nation so blessed by God. With that in mind, while you’re fixing your Thanksgiving feast today, or heading over to Grandma’s in the car, tune into our Focus on the Family Broadcast “[URL="https://www.focusonthefamily.com/episodes/broadcast/Remembering-the-Pilgrims'-Journey"]Remembering the Pilgrims’ Journey[/URL].” Jay Milbrandt, a professor at Bethel University in Minnesota, is with us to peel back the layers of history and get us back to what the first Thanksgiving was all about. He began researching the Pilgrims after he discovered that his ancestors came to America on the Mayflower. He’s written about what he learned in his book, [URL='https://donate.focusonthefamily.com/don-daily-broadcast-product-2021-11-25?refcd=1027501'][I]They Came for Freedom: The Forgotten, Epic Adventure of the Pilgrims[/I][/URL].
