Thanksgiving did not always exist. In fact, the pilgrims who celebrated the first thanksgiving meal didn't plan on it being a yearly thing. They were merely celebrating their first successful harvest. Intended to thank God for His provision over the last few years as they left their home in England, sailed long days across the Atlantic, landed in the wrong place, lived on the ship during the winter, built their new settlement, and brought in their first successful harvest.
