Thanksgiving Day

When you celebrate Thanksgiving are you truly thankful or is it just another day of celebration? Do you even give one thought to the Creator?
Do you recognize that everything you have is because of God's faithfulness to you?
"The Earth is the Lord's and the fullness thereof, the world and those who dwell therein," (Psalm 24:1 ESV)
"But you, O Lord, are a God merciful and gracious, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love and faithfulness." (Psalm 86:15 ESV)
He made this world that you live in---
Just look around you---
His hand is seen in all---
The sun, moon and stars are all part of His handiwork. He placed each one in the heavens to give us light.
We may not be able to see the wind, but we certainly can hear it rustling through the trees and feel it.
This is all God!
He is with us each and every day. We may not be able to see Him with our naked eye, but all of creation shows His wondrous works and shouts His name.
We should be thankful every day of our lives! 
Let us try to remember this Thanksgiving  that it is not all about the turkey, stuffing, and pumpkin pie. It is not even all about friends and family though that is important. Ultimately, it is all about Jesus and all He did for us and continues to do. God is faithful to His children.
"Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good, 
For His steadfast love endures forever." (Psalm 136:1 ESV) 
Be blessed,
Shifra
