Today's Photograph . . . . Enjoy This Day While Reflecting Upon God's Specific Blessings (MK, FCS) |
Happy Thanksgiving Day 2011 |
Psalm 100
Shout joyfully to the LORD, all the earth. Serve the LORD with gladness; come before Him with joyful singing. Know that the LORD Himself is God; it is He who has made us, and not we ourselves; we are His people and the sheep of His pasture. Enter His gates with thanksgiving and His courts with praise. Give thanks to Him, bless His name. For the LORD is good; His lovingkindness is everlasting and His faithfulness to all generations. (NASB)
Thoughts
The Thanksgiving Day holiday is a uniquely American Holiday! President George Washington, on Oct 3, 1789, signed a decree for a "General Thanksgiving" that in part stated that the day was "to be observed by acknowledging with grateful hearts the many and signal favors of Almighty God."
The theme of Thanksgiving is an attitude to be shared by all, all the time!!!

Action Point
Please enjoy this day while reflecting upon God's specific blessings upon you, your family, and your loved ones.
Enjoy the food, the love, the warmth of relationships as a celebration of God's goodness!
Share the day with those in need. Invite them to your table. Take them a meal, or the provisions for a meal.
In sharing with others, you will find even greater fulfillment and joy as you imitate the Greatest Giver of all, our God and His Son, Jesus Christ.
Sportsmen's Tip of the Day
Remember to share your wild game with those in need. There are many programs at the state and local levels that welcome the donation of game taken in fair chase as sources of protein for the needy.
