Giving thanks always
for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ; Ephesians
5:20
I love thanksgiving. It is the only holiday that we truly
have to give Praise, Glory and Thanks to the Heavenly Creator. In my lifetime
Thanksgiving has changed. When I was a child it was a huge family time with
family traveling to be with other family members. It was a time of high school Thanksgiving
football games with rival teams from other towns. Everyone would go to the
football games to meet up with old friends and acquaintances because everyone
went back to their home town to be with family on Thanksgiving. When we got
home to have the big meal the main theme was not the turkey or the desserts but
bowing our heads and thanking God for the year that past and looking toward to the
coming year.
Yes, there are still families that do all of the above
and more, but unfortunately most leave out the most important Element, God.
Listen, to the TV or the radio and the announcers will go on and on about being
thankful, but God is never mention.
During the month of November I am dedicating my blog to
Thanksgiving. I will post items of thanks; pictures, quotes, verses, lists etc.
please feel free to leave comments with your “thankful" items.
Ideas for November:
© Keep a “thankful” journal
© Write “thank you” notes to others that have “blessed
you”
© Do the Joy Dare Challenge
© Give “thanks” in everything
