Lest We Forget
Nov 22, 2023 • The Rev. Charlie Holt
Why do blessed people so easily forget the Giver? Moses warns Israel in Deuteronomy 8 not to credit its wealth to the might of its own hand, and only one of the ten healed lepers in Luke returns to give thanks. Drawing on a Holt ancestor who crossed to Virginia around 1619 and on William Bradford's account of Plymouth, where buried corn and Squanto's help saved the pilgrims, Rev. Holt calls Americans and Christians alike to credit God's providence.
