Happy Thanksgiving

Shout triumphantly to the Lord , all the earth. Serve the Lord with gladness; come before Him with joyful songs. Acknowledge that Yahweh is God. He made us, and we are His — His people, the sheep of His pasture. Enter His gates with thanksgiving and His courts with praise. Give thanks to Him and praise His name. For Yahweh is good, and His love is eternal; His faithfulness endures through all generations.

Psalms 100:1‭-‬5 HCSBAs we all get ready to enjoy today, we should take a moment to look beyond the food, family, and fun, and turn our eyes toward Heaven. All of our thanks should be given to God. It is His Son that paid our debt. It is His Grace that offers us hope. This is His holy day! Give Him thanks.This is the attitude we should have all year. It is great that we have a day set aside for Thanksgiving. I was reminded of this earlier as I was blessed with the harvest of my very first deer. As I approached the animal that I had just killed, i realized that it was His grace that gave me the harvest. I knelt beside the young buck and gave thanks to God for the bounty. It is something i had not always practiced in the past during other hunts or fishing, but as I prayed a prayer of Thanksgiving to God, I decided I would from then on. I ask that others might join me in that simple action.
Today is about thanks. Football, family, food, fun, and even fights (they seem bound to happen) are all only possible because of Him. Without Him, there would have been no desire to create this country, and thus we would not celebrate this holiday. Take time today in the middle of it all and think of God.Thank you and God bless.
