During the first Thanksgiving meal, the Pilgrims placed 5 kernels of corn on their plates to remind them of their first harsh winter. During that part of their lives, they were forced to ration food. Each was given five kernels of corn to eat a day. When they received the wealth of God’s bounty and celebrated it during that first Thanksgiving, they used the five kernels to remind them of things that God had done for them. The fourth kernel reminded them of the people that God put in their lives who loved them.
