The Legend of the Five Kernels
The first winter the Pilgrims spent in their new home was very cold.
Food was in short supply.
Some days they had only enough food for each person to have five kernels
of corn for the day.
But spring came. They planted food. It grew. And all the Pilgrims did
not die. From then on, when a time of Thanksgiving came around, the
Pilgrims put five kernels of corn on each plate and used them to remind
themselves of their blessings.
The First Kernel reminds us of the autumn beauty around us.
The Second Kernel reminds us of our love for each other.
The Third Kernel reminds us of God's love and care for us.
The Fourth Kernel reminds us of our friends - especially our Indian
brothers.
The Fifth Kernel reminds us we are free people.
