THANKSGIVING
“In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.”- 1 Thess 5:18
Someone said, “In all circumstances! This comes as a surprise when one considers the vicissitudes of human life. Sickness and health, poverty and wealth, joy and sorrow–are all ingredients of the cup placed to human lips–so all must come within the scope of thanksgiving. Why be thankful for everything? Because God causes everything to work together for good to those who love Him.”
Charles Dickens said that we are somewhat mixed up here in America. He told an audience that instead of having one Thanksgiving Day each year, we should have 364. “Use that one day just for complaining and griping,” he said. “Use the other 364 days to thank God each day for the many blessings He has showered upon you!”
Dickens was wrong. There should be no days of complaining. We ought to Give thanks not just on Thanksgiving Day, but every day of your life. Appreciate and never take for granted, all that God has given us.
“Thanks be unto God for his unspeakable gift.”– 2 Cor. 9:15
For Christ who came from Heaven above,
For the cross and His redeeming love,
For His mighty power to seek and save,
For His glorious triumph o’er the grave.
For the lovely mansions in the sky,
For His blessed coming bye and bye–
I give Thee humble thanks.
I pray you and yours will have a blessed thanksgiving! – Bro. Stone
