Happy Thanksgiving to all my readers. Our country has so much to be thankful for ... freedom is such a tremendous blessing and for Christians, our belief is that our freedom comes from God. In Ephesians 5:20, the bible says, "Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ." So we should give thanks to "whom from all blessings flow." I heard an interesting sermon at church on Wednesday night on Thanksgiving .... the preacher was speaking from Job 19 and in that passage Job is speaking to his "friends" about his terrible misery. He says in verse 6, "know not that God hath overthrown me, and hath compassed me with his net." He goes on to say in verse 10 that, "He (God) hath destroyed me on every side, and I am gone: and mine hope hath he removed like a tree." But Job realizes that even after all the terrible tribulation he is undergoing, that he is to be thankful ... he says in verse 25, "For I know that my redeemer liveth (AMEN!!!!), and that he shall stand at the latter day upon the earth." Please give thanks for our great country and say an extra prayer for our magnificent troops and their families.
And to give you the truth about Thanksgiving and a little laugh along the way, here is Rush Limbaugh's story of Thanksgiving ...
May God bless you all ....
