In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.
I Thessalonians 5:18
Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name. For the LORD is good; his mercy is everlasting; and his truth endureth to all generations.
Psalm 100:4-5
Today is Thanksgiving Day in the United States. It is a day in which we celebrate thankfulness. That’s a great reason for a holiday if ever there was one. We have all seen the above verses before, so there is little need for me to comment too much on them. We are told over and over again to be thankful. Are we?
Today, we should concentrate on being truly thankful. We should, throughout the day, think of things for which we are thankful. We should then express this thankfulness to God and to those around us. Being thankful is a wonderful thing and it is impossible to be too thankful. Enjoy the day. Enjoy all the Lord has given you and done for you. Happy Thanksgiving!
