Thanksgiving

 I will pause briefly from the book of Jeremiah for Thanksgiving Day.  This has been a really bad year in many respects, but if you are alive, you still have reason to be thankful I believe.  The first Thanksgiving Day had came at a time when life was really tough and people were divided between those coming to settle America and those who were already here, but they came together to celebrate.  We in America have had a rough and divisive year, but I believe that we need to pause, come together and celebrate our blessings.  Of course, I believe this is really true for Christians, those who have put their faith in Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord.  No matter how bad things are going here, God is still in charge and He expects His people to put their faith in Him and worship him even in the hard times.  This Thanksgiving, let us joyfully celebrate the blessings of God.
