Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving is not just an American holiday. It's a way of life for those of us who know the grace of God first-hand. We're giving thanks for good friends who joined us tonight for a typical American Thanksgiving Dinner. The meal was fantastic and the fellowship, a blessing.

Carolyn asked everyone to give thanks to God for something in their life. Each expression was beautiful and genuine. God was glorified throughout the dinner. We're missing our family today immensely, but we are blessed to have so many new good friends throughout the territory and around the world. Hallelujah!

Psalms 30:4 (NASB77)
"Sing praise to the LORD, you His godly ones, And give thanks to His holy name."

Happy thanksgiving!

Isn't that what God intended when we break bread together - to remember Him and to give thanks!

May it be a happy thanksgiving every day!

I know in Canada Thanksgiving is celebrated in October...around the time we Americans celebrate Columbus Day. I've been in attendence for the Thanksgiving Holliness meeting at Montreal Citadel.

What about Austraila? What do Austrailinas do, if anything?

Thinking and praying for you and Carolyn today.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Since my family and I are dual citizens of Canada and the USA, we celebrate two Thanksgivings. It's not very good for our waistlines, but it's great for our spirits!

Have a blessed day.
