Thanksgiving

Have you ever noticed how Thanksgiving has been "pushed to the back burner", if you will, in our society? Two days before Thanksgiving my Mom and I went to Walmart to get some table cloth for our annual Pie & Praise. The sad thing was, there was no Thanksgiving decorations at all! Walmart went right from Halloween to Christmas.

Yes, I understand how important Christmas is, but I believe Thanksgiving is just as important. There are many, many verses in the Bible that talk about giving thanks to God for what He has done. Here are just a few:

"In everything give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you."

I Thessalonians 5:18

 

"But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ."

I Corinthians 15:57

 

"Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ."

Ephesians 5:20

 

So, what are you thankful for this year? Or a better question, did you remember to thank the Lord for all that He has given you? After all, without Him we would have nothing.
