They come to us on a profession of faith.
Thanksgiving
Psalm 100 is called a “Psalm of Thanksgiving.” The Bible is full of verses about giving thanks, or thanksgiving. The word thanksgiving in Hebrew is Hodu which means “give thanks.”
In ancient Hebrew, Hodu is the Hebrew word for India. Jump forward 2000 years when the Spanish arrived in the new world they mistakenly believed they had found an alternative route to India (Hodu). They even referred to the natives as Indians. They also discovered a new chicken-like bird that was referred to as Tarnegol Hodu, “Indian Chicken” or just Hodu for short.
It is interesting to note the strange connection; the word Hodu as a verb means to give thanks and as a noun it means turkey.
Even a celebration (Turkey Day) not found in Scripture has God’s hand all over it.
