To Dream the Impossible Dream...


« on: November 24, 2010, 04:36:54 PM »

The dictionary defines "Thanksgiving" as:
1.  the act of giving thanks; grateful acknowledgment of benefits or favors, esp. to god.
2.  an expression of thanks, esp. to God.

In this generation of those that expect things to be given to them, of people who selfishly demand more, of those that take others for granted; I say, wake up and really look around.  Take a fresh look at the opportunities you have, take a look at the people who do so much for you, take a look at yourself.  Are you the type of person that you would want as a friend?  How will you stand before your maker?
1 Thessalonians 5:16 "Be joyful always; pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances..."

So this "Thanksgiving" really give thanks, not for one day but every day of your life.  Show others and tell them often how much their actions both big and small mean to you.  Be grateful and appreciate the blessings and be thankful for the lesson in life.  God bless you all and have a happy "Thanksgiving".
