Thanksgiving Together… Today

As Christians we begin each day by thanking the Lord for His many blessings, but in the United States we celebrate a certain day in which entire families gather together and thank Him as one. We call this Thanksgiving Day, and although the secular join in by having a festive feast together, it began long ago as a holiday of Christian prayer; a time for worship, and thanksgiving, offered up as we thanked Him for His provision, protection, and the abundance of our lives… praying all this in the name of Jesus.

In our Joy, our Sorrow, and our Loneliness, we Thank God always!

Today is Thanksgiving Day in the United States; a day when we corporately give thanks to God for His goodness, and many blessings throughout the past year. Years of joy make this easy, but, some years are filled with tragedy, mourning, and heartbreak... are we expected to thank God equally in those, or in the midst of our suffering too? Satan attempts to cast a veil over God’s joy, and to spotlight our sorrows and pain as a means of drawing us into his darkness... so friends, lift up your voices in thanksgiving this day, and always!

Little Gifts, and Heavenly Treasures

As you look about you today, what are your distractions from faith, and what are those things that bless you as you seek out the Lord? When you begin your prayers this morning what will you thank God for, and what will you ask Him to help you overcome? Sometimes we find that it is the little things in life that bless us most... and it is the little things that trip up our faith.
