Hi Folks,
Well, here we at Thanksgiving Day! Happy Thanksgiving to each of you!
What are some of the things that you are thankful for? For me, the everyday things that make up life are what I am thankful for-hot water, food in the fridge, clothes, a warm home, supportive, godly friends, my family.
But you know, our world has become so commercialized that we sale from Halloween right into Christmas. Whatever happened to setting aside a day
to give thanks to God and acknowledging that we have been blessed by Him?
The sermon link below answers that question: "Whatever Happened to Thanksgiving?" My mom and I watched it last Sunday morning and it was very good! I would highly encourage you to watch it this weekend.
I've also included a 2nd link that also comes with a sermon, but I'm focusing on the sermon notes on the right side of the screen for our devot. this week. I think it is powerful,thought provoking and could be a life changer for us, if we take it to heart.
I hope you and yours have a blessed Thanksgiving and inspire those in your life to express a heart of thankfulness to God for all He has blessed them with.
Consider inviting someone to your table, even this weekend, for a post Thanksgiving meal who is without family/friends in the area or doesn't have someone at all, has lost a lost one, has less than you do. Pray, think outside the box (could be your mail lady, neighbor, the person you bump into at the store every two weeks and have chatted with a bit) and ask God how you could bless someone this Thanksgiving weekend.
Keep the folks out in California in your prayers-those who have lost everything, those who are rescuing human and animal life (and doing an amazing job!) and the firefighters. Pray for God's grace on them this Thanksgiving.
Lord richly bless you and yours!
