“The story of Squanto is one of the freakiest miracles in history.”

With an introduction like that, I know you’ll want to tune in to our radio program today while you’re preparing Thanksgiving dinner and keeping an eye on the football game.

Our guest, author and radio host Eric Metaxas, is sharing the true story of Squanto you’ve probably never heard. The very founding of our country might never have happened had Squanto not walked out of the woods and had his heart prepared by God, like Joseph when he was sold into slavery by his brothers (Genesis 37-50).

If you’re already counting down the days till next year this Thanksgiving week, eager to be out with the old and in with the new, especially in this pandemic-torn year, I’d like to recommend that we still pause to count our blessings in 2020 – and even name them one by one. 

Why? 

Gratitude provides perspective and level sets today’s troubles, trials and tribulations.  

I presume everyone could assemble their own individual list, but here are 20 things that I think many of us can be appreciative of as we approach Thursday’s celebration of Thanksgiving. 

1.   Doctors, nurses and medical professionals: Even at great risk to their own health, they have cared for millions of infected patients this year. 

2.   First responders: Because they’re willing to be available at all hours, you and I can sleep soundly each night.
