The main thing we should be thankful for is Jesus who came to earth to die on the cross, was buried and rose again on the third day. He took away all our sin if we trust in Him as Lord and Savior.
Sing for joy and kneel before Him with gratitude in our heart!
Have a blessed Thanksgiving!
Did you know that giving thanks gives good health?
“Studies on gratitude have shown measurable effects on everything from neurotransmitters (serotonin, norepinephrine), social bonding hormones (oxytocin), cognitive and pleasure related neurotransmitters (dopamine), to inflammatory and immune systems stress hormones (cortisol), cardiac and EEG rhythms, blood pressure, and blood sugar, according to Doraiswamy. Other medical studies have indicated a thankful attitude reduces stress and boosts immunity.” Dr. P. Doraiswamy

Why no Christmas decorations yet? Christmas is wonderful! The lights, beautiful tress, wreaths and everything that makes the ordinary sparkle. But, lest we forget, there is a Holiday in the USA that is unique. THANKSGIVING.
A time set aside to thank God for all His bountiful blessings. Pilgrims, fall leaves, pumpkins and other decorations of the autumn season still are prominent in my home.
The day after Thanksgiving, everything will change, and then the Christmas decor will be back.
(This is a personal choice. May God bless those who love Christmas so much they are decorated already.)

The last day of November. How did you do on your month of thanksgiving?
Did you find something to be thankful for everyday?
It is a good thing to thank the Lord everyday all year long.
Praise ye the LORD. O give thanks unto the LORD; for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever. Psalms 106:1
Ephesians 5:20 – Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ;
God’s Word, the Bible. His way of communication with us.
All the answers to life’s problems and concerns are found in the Bible.
Where did I come from? How can I know what to do with my life? How do I choose a spouse? What should my relationship be with my children? Neighbors? Friends?
Is there life after death? How do I get to spend eternity with God?
All of life’s questions are answered in the Bible. God wants to bless us and He does give us the answers, but we have to be reading, searching and understanding what He has to say to us in His Word.
Today give thanks to God for giving us His written Word. Then make it a priority in your life everyday.
