“Praise the Lord!
Praise the Lord from the heavens;
Praise Him in the heights!..”
Psalms 148 : 1-5
What comes to mind when you think of Thanksgiving?
Do you picture a time of thankfulness toward God—
or is it merely one of eating,
partying or watching football?
Sadly, the latter is what
Thanksgiving has become to most.
They have forgotten why the day was established.
Its meaning has slowly deteriorated,
and is now almost completely lost
While many are familiar with the
traditional representation
of the original Thanksgiving,
It is helpful to examine the purpose
for which it was first celebrated.
By doing this, the day’s meaning
will be firmly established.
May God grant that He may find us
grateful every day for all of His gifts,
spiritual and material.
“God is good, and every good gift comes from Him”
(James 1:17).
For those who know Christ-
“God also works everything together for good,
even events we would not necessarily consider good.”
(Romans 8:28-30).
May He find us to be His grateful children.
There is always something to be “Thankful for”,
regardless of our circumstances
– Look for things to be grateful.
I wish all my friends and relatives in USA –
A great Thanksgiving Day today.
HAPPY SABBATH-
