November 2012 Thanksgiving

 

A month of thankful days....I believe Thanksgiving is about the time in history when the pilgrims came to America to settle into a land of peace and opportunity. I picture the Indians and pilgrims sharing a big feast with Turkey and all of the food that was available to them at the time and place where they occupied the land they lived in at that time. Yes, I believe they were thankful for all that God had blessed them with. This time of our forefather's was indeed a time in history past.

 

Thanksgiving 2012....are we thankful for what God has blessed us with? I think the majority would say, "yes", and I would hope they really mean it. Being thankful is good. But, do you ever wonder to whom one is being thankful to? In this wonderful country that we live in it seems to me that many have so much while others have so little. I wonder who is the most thankful and to whom are they thankful. If they are thankful to our wonderful creator God who has given all that is good, as we know all good things come from our Lord, or are they thankful to someone they worship that they do not know? Let us know who is the Giver of life and all good things. There is only One whom we should worship and adore and be thankful to not only in the month of November, but, January through December.

 

Our God is a jealous God and to worship any other is against all that is in His word and all that He proclaims....the truth is IN HIS WORD, the inspired words given by a Holy God who will not be mocked.

 

So if I am to give thanks, be thankful for something in the month of November, I will be thankful for the whole month of November for my Holy Bible and for the Author of it! I will be thankful each and every day of the year for things that are too numerous to mention unless I am thankful daily for ALL He has given me.

 

Thank you Abba, Father for all you have given me,
