Happy Thanksgiving!

I have so much to be thankful for, and the Bible addresses thankfulness so thoroughly, that I actually won't be able to post my article on Thanksgiving in time. Sorry! However, I did want to leave you with a couple of verses, to remind you why to be thankful and to Whom to be thankful.

James 1:17:

Every good thing given and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shifting shadow.

James 1:2-4

Consider it all joy, my brethren, when you encounter various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance. And let endurance have its perfect result, so that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.

Romans 8:28

God causes all things to work together for the good of those who love the Lord.

Realize this Thanksgiving that every good thing comes from the Lord--for which He should be thanked--and every seemingly bad thing He will cause to be a good thing. There is no person on this planet or in history who does not have reason to thank God--and thank Him endlessly. He should literally be thanked always and for everything (I'll get into that more in a future post.). Yet, setting aside a special day is okay, too, to specifically thank Him for all His many blessings and gifts.

Note: Because every good thing comes from God does not mean we can't thank people who have blessed us--it just means we should also thank God FOR those people.

I wish I could write more....in the future, Lord-willing.

Thanksgiving Blessings,
