Thanksgiving Day Americans gather to celebrate another year as a family in a free country with plenty of opportunities for advancement. We gather around the table to share a feast as we can from our good fortune. Let us remember to give thanks as we enjoy our meals.
We should give thanks for the bounty on our tables to share with those who gather around with us. Not everyone, even in our great nation, can afford to feast. Many have little to eat and hardly can give thanks except for simple blessings they enjoy. Blessings like life, a healthy family, and a happy home life. Some can only pray for things to get better by next year. As we enjoy our feasts we should remember these simple blessings too, and give thanks.
As well, considering there may be a God that created the abundance we find on the Earth we should thank God for his providing the ingrediants of this feast, and all we enjoy in our life of his creation's bounty. God's great Godhead act of visualization created the heavens and the earth in all their beauty. We are heirs of this great treasury that have forgotten our ancestors reports it all came from God.
So, Happy Thanksgiving! I hope it finds you healthy and able to enjoy all the blessings of creation money cannot purchase as well as those material comforts money can buy. If not I hope you can take comfort from remembering Christ's cross. Jesus was crucified so we may be restored to eternal life in Heaven with God. Until then Jesus said we should bear our cross and follow him. Until we are restored to our eternal forms we may suffer more or less than Christ. Never forget though, God loves you and is waiting to welcome you home...
