Thanksgiving is a basic tenet of Christianity. God's word reminds us to be thankful for the good and bad in our lives because we understand that he uses all things to mold us into teh image of Christ. He allows each of us to go though good and bad times to learn important lessons. Thanksgiving is much less commercialized than Easter and Christmas have become in this nation.
I hope that each of my believing friend are blessed with a wonderful and thankful Thanksgiving.
Will you be integrating your faith in Christ into Thanksgiving this year?

We, like the Pilgrims, have a choice. In life there will always be those things that we can complain about (the Pilgrims had lost many loved ones), but there will also be much to be thankful for. As our society becomes increasingly secular, the actual “giving of thanks to God” during our annual Thanksgiving holiday is being overlooked, leaving only the feasting. May God grant that He may find us grateful every day for all of His gifts, spiritual and material. God is good, and every good gift comes from Him (James 1:17). For those who know Christ, God also works everything together for good, even events we would not necessarily consider good (Romans 8:28-30). May He find us to be His grateful children.
God Bless us all!
