Thanksgiving

I love this time of year. For the next five weeks there is nothing but events for us. We have family dinners and church gatherings. I love being with family and friends. Now that Nathan is getting older he loves for there to be lights on the house and guess who gets that chore! This is a great time. Today we officially start the holiday season by giving thanks. For our nation, we celebrate by remembering those who came to this land so many years ago and after enduring a terrible winter, gathered to give thanks to God for their blessings and survival. As Christians we celebrate the past year and remember everything that God has done for us. However, we should not limit our thanksgiving to just one day a year. We are told to come before Him daily with thanks. We are to live with an attitude of gratefulness. As you gather around the turkey and fixin's, remeber that this day is not about the food, parades, or football games. It is about God's blessings on us. God bless
