Thanksgiving
November is here. Things are
finally cooling off. God is producing another fantastic artwork in
nature once again, in the fall
Turkeys are getting nervous. Kids are counting the days until Christmas.
Thank God for lay a way, for most of us.
What about the holiday at the end of the month? What are we supposed to
thankful for? Is it just another paid holiday? Who do we give
thanks to?
There hasn't always been a Thanksgiving
holiday. I don't know all the specifics, but I think it was established
not too long after our ancestors' pilgrimage to this great country.
Personally, I have been dreading this month for a long time. My family is
in a major financial crisis. I don't know how things are going to work
out. Some unfortunate things have already occurred. No matter what,
though, I keep waking up to another day.
God, in His loving ways, reminds me that
He is in control and He is able to take care of any thing that comes my way.
His Word says, (NKV) Matthew 6:31 “Therefore do not worry, saying,
‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we
wear?’ 32. For after all these things the Gentiles seek. For your heavenly
Father knows that you need all these things. 33. But seek first the kingdom of
God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. 34.
Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own
things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble. And, (NKV) Psalm
55:22 Cast your burden on the LORD, And He shall sustain you; He shall
never permit the righteous to be moved.

Actually, I have everything to be
thankful for. Every breath I breathe, comes from God. Apart from His
will, I'd have no heart beat. Apart from Jesus, there'd be no salvation.
He gave me a beautiful daughter, who I love so very much. My husband has
been very faithful and has stuck with me no matter what. I have a mother n
law and father n law who are kind and loving. I have trouble counting my nieces and
nephews. We have a home, transportation, clothes and food. I get to
hear music of my choice. I enjoy having pets. I have more friends
than I can keep up with, especially through the internet. I'm involved in
an online ministry which has been a big help to keep me focused. There's
so much more, but I think I've made my point.
Let there be no mistake... Thanks
belongs to God alone... for without Him, we wouldn't be and this world wouldn't
be either. So, let's try to remember to give Him thanks every day this
month , not just on Thanksgiving... and then everyday thereafter!!!
