Thanksgiving

With God ALL things are possible!

"Happy thanksgiving"

And whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him. Colossians 3:17


In 1789, President George Washington designated the first national Thanksgiving Day when he issued a proclamation for "a day of public thanksgiving and prayer to be observed by acknowledging with grateful hearts the many signal favors of Almighty God."In our day, it can be very easy during our feasting to forget about the one we are celebrating on Thanksgiving.
The primary reason we were put on this earth as human beings was to glorify God and to give Him thanks.
The Bible tells us this again and again.
Psalm 107:1 says, "Oh, give thanks to the Lord, for He is good! For His mercy endures forever."
Colossians 3:17 says, "And whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him." Hebrews 13:15 says, "Therefore by Him let us continually offer the sacrifice of praise to God, that is, the fruit of our lips, giving thanks to His name."In Everything give thanks 1 Thessolonians

Scripture incourages us always to voice our gratitude to the Lord.


Praise and worship can sometimes be a sacrifice because we don't want to do it.
And that might be because we are depressed or down or things aren't going that well.
It may be that hardship or tragedy has befallen us, and we don't feel like praising God.
But the Bible does not say give thanks to the Lord because you feel good.
Rather, it says,
"Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good!" May we put things into perspective. His Perspective!

Ron and I Pray you have a wonderful day of thanksgiving and are blessed with your Family's, and Friends--------We really do have much to be thankful for.
Were only a breath away from the one who created us, for His Purpose and His Glory.
Blessings
Ron and Sandie
