Well, it's that time again...Thanksgiving! It seems like I can already smell the cakes and pies, fried turkey and dressing, collard greens, mac-a-roni and cheese, and more.  Homes across the nation will be filled with these foods and more coupled with the laughter and joy of family and friends celebrating and making confessions of Thanksgiving!

 

Like Christmas, I believe that Thanksgiving is one of those days that we should celebrate year around.  The Bible declares in I Thessalonians 5:18, "In every thing give thanks for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you." We should always be thankful unto the Lord for the many blessings that God consistently bestows upon us.  His faithfulness is immeasureable.  Even when we are unfaithful to Him, He's faithful to us. 

 

So, whether you have a big dinner or not, remember to truly be thankful.  Also, let's remember those that are less fortunate than us.  Truly, all of the blessing that God has blessed us with are not just for us, but they are for us to also share with others so that they may know the love and grace of God.

 

So, as we celebrate this year, remember to go around the table and provide an opportunity for everyone to make a Thanksgiving confession unto the Lord.  For truly He is the reason for our priviledge to celebrate Thanksgiving!

 

In closing, here's a poem by Mary Fairchild that is dear to my heart and I would like to share it with you. Maybe you will consider sharing it with someone else!

 

Heavenly Father, on Thanksgiving Day
We bow our hearts to You and pray.
We give You thanks for all You've done
Especially for the gift of Jesus, Your Son.

 

For beauty in nature, Your glory we see
For joy and health, friends and family,
For daily provision, Your mercy and care
These are the blessings You graciously share.
So today we offer this response of praise
With a promise to follow You all of our days.

--Mary Fairchild

Many times in life we have to endure pain, hurt, anger and adverse actions that are no fault of our own. I know far too well about having my life turned upside down due to the acts of others. From the age of 5 until I was 17, I was molested by my father, stepfather, cousins and even the two teenage sisters next door. The actions of those people caused me to become someone that I was never created to be. I began to really resent those people and had reached the point where I hated to see them coming. Molestation is a serious issue that our society or church doesn't really take as seriously as they should. The statistics are astounding and heart wrenching: Find out more inside...

In one way or another, it seems as though many of the people I've encountered lately have been impacted by something that just seems crazy…something that seems as if it has come out of the clear blue to knock you off of your track…you were going along minding your business, doing right, and living right to the best of your ability and then all of a sudden, it seems as though an attack was released against you that you least expected…and to add insult to injury, the attack is just so far from normal that all you can say is this is, "crazy stuff…" Read more inside...
