THANKSGIVING
I AM SO THANKFUL THAT JESUS CAME
TO THIS EARTH AND ENDURED SUCH PAIN.
FOR YOU AND ME, HE WAS BEATEN AND SHAMED.
OH, HOW I LOVE HIM FOR TAKING MY BLAME.
THANKSGIVING IS A TIME TO GIVE THANKS TO HIM.
PLEASE DON'T FORGET THAT HE PAID THE PRICE
FOR MY SALVATION AND YOURS; HIS SACRIFICE.
I THANK HIM FOR YOU, THAT HE HAS PLACED IN MY LIFE.
ISN'T HE THOUGHTFUL AND SO VERY NICE ...
TO GIVE US OUR FRIENDS AND FAMILY TO LOVE AND ADORE,
THE CHURCH AND THE SMILES AS WE WALK IN THE DOOR?
I AM SO GRATEFUL TO MY LORD, JESUS CHRIST,
THAT LOVES ME AND KNOWS MY EVERY THOUGHT.
I PRAY THAT HE CAN SMILE AS HE KNOWS WHERE I WALK.
MAY YOU THINK OF ME AS YOU GIVE THANKS,
BECAUSE I LOVE YOU ON THIS THANKSGIVING DAY.
JUST BOW YOUR HEAD AND, TO HIM, WE WILL PRAY.
GOD'S BLESSING ON YOU AND HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

Live Thanksgiving
~
The first Thanksgiving Day was a very joyful celebration.
However, it was much more than that because the Pilgrims had so much to be grateful for ...
the houses they built, the successful harvests, religious freedom,
and their new relations with the Native Americans (Indians).
Thanksgiving is more than giving thanks for our blessings.
It is giving thanks for all circumstances, which is something that is uniquely Christian.
Knowing that, each Thanksgiving, our ancestors chose to celebrate God's greatness,
we should continue to be thankful for our country, our freedoms, and our faith in God ...
to trust Him in our own lives and to live Thanksgiving everyday.
