We celebrate the harvest and give
thanks to the Lord every
November which is called "Thanksgiving".
Thanksgiving is a time of gratitude to God, our Creator and
Provider,
whose guidance and care go before us...
and whose love is with us forever.
When you think of Thanksgiving, you think
of turkey dinner,
pumpkin pie,
Macy's parade, football, and getting together with families.
But the most important reason we celebrate
Thanksgiving
is to thank Jesus for everything He has given to us.
That is how
Thanksgiving started with
the Pilgrims and the Indians.
'Always giving thanks to God the Father for
everything,
in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.'
Ephesians 5:20
Oh, give thanks to the Lord, for He is
good!
For His mercy endures forever.
1 Chronicles 16:34
Thanksgiving is the expression of
gratitude and the
giving of thanks.
Being thankful is a feeling and a show of gratitude.
Thanksgiving is a time to praise and thank Jesus, who
has
given us so much. This is also something we
need to
do every day, not just Thanksgiving
Day.
'Enter into His gates
with thanksgiving,
And into His courts with praise.
Be thankful to Him, and bless His name.'
Psalms 100:4
