Thanksgiving in hard times.
November 21, 2022
A few days until Thanksgiving! Students anticipate to days off school, adults, a day off work, families, get togethers and good food.
It’s easy to lose the real reason in the plans and grocery lists. This day is specifically to thank God for His blessings on our country.
Thanksgiving was initiated by the pilgrims and Native Americans. They united, feasted, and thanked God, who they acknowledged, gave them every blessing they had.
Few know that it was President Abraham Lincoln who set apart the last Thursday of November as “A day of Thanksgiving and Praise to our beneficent Father who dwelleth in the Heavens.”
More important than our plans and lists is that we prepare to intentionally thank God for His great mercies to us as individuals and as a nation.
