Happy Thanksgiving

 

 

Somewhere in time, today, America celebrates Thanksgiving.  It’s a day set aside to thank God for his goodness to us and His provision for us.  The first thanksgiving was celebrated with a feast and the tradition continues.  This week I have also been thinking of a song.  I thought it was the perfect song for celebrating Thanksgiving.

Give thanks with a grateful heart

Give thanks to the Holy One

Give thanks, because he’s give Jesus Christ his son

Give thanks, with a grateful heart

Give thanks, to the holy one

Give thanks, because he’s given Jesus Christ his son

 

And now, let the week say I am strong

Let the poor say I am rich

Because of what the Lord has done for us

Give thanks

Thankfulness can be hard at times, but if we look closely, we always have something to be thankful for.  If we are breathing and alive, give thanks.  If we are full and not hungry, give thanks. If we are clothed and not naked, give thanks.

1Thessalonians 5:16-18 (NIV) “Be joyful always, pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.”
