Thanksgiving Day 2012

"Rejoice always; pray without ceasing; in everything give thanks; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus." - 1 Thes 5:16-18

"A thankful heart is not only the greatest virtue, but the parent of all the other virtues." - Cicero

Most Americans will celebrate Thanksgiving Day on November 22nd, 2012 and enjoy a number of traditional foods and activities with their families.  Many people will also give thanks individually and with their families to the Creator of all things for the grace and blessings He has granted each of us. While some in the mainstream and not-so mainstream media will attempt to make political statements regarding this day I think it best to take it at face value and simply give thanks to our Creator for all He has blessed us with individually and as a nation.

...

While you give thanks and praise to God for all He has blessed you and your family with please remember those who are serving in our nations military who are not with their families this Thanksgiving Day.

...

Thank you God for your most gracious blessings bestowed upon us all.  Help each of us to see these blessings and to give You are most sincere and grateful thanks.

Shalom
