(in North America) An annual national holiday marked by religious observances and a traditional meal including turkey. The holiday commemorates a harvest festival celebrated by the Pilgrims in 1621, and is held in the US on the fourth Thursday in November. A similar holiday is held in Canada, usually on the second Monday in October

Philippians 4:6
Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.

Yesterday at church, we sang the song "Give Thanks" which is a very familiar tune to all of us.  I was trying to think of the last time I sang that song when it was NOT Thanksgiving.  I simply can't remember.

We, as Christians, have so much to be thankful for!  We breathe, we live, we move, we have families, we have shoes, we have food and we have toothbrushes.  Most importantly, we have a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ who came to save us all!

I am truly thankful to God above for His faithfulness, mercy and love and for His amazing grace.  I am thankful for family, friends, love, life, grace, church, home, work and everything else God has blessed me with.

Thank you, Lord!
