Getting Thankful

This morning I read President Lincoln's speech that officially establishment Thanksgiving Day.

HERE
WOW!

Take time to read this in the next day before we get to Thanksgiving day. I think I may even read this to my family, who will all be together (all 30 of us), before we eat that afternoon.

As C.S Lewis said, "the man who has the Lord and all the world has no more than the man who has the Lord alone".

God has given us so much, even in the presence of what you may still need, HE HAS GIVEN US SO MUCH!

I pray we enter the next few days with truly thankful hearts, praising Jesus for all He is, all He has done & all He has given us. Otherwise the day may be more like, "Happy, almost thankful but slightly annoyed & mostly discontent, day".

Dads, you especially need to create moments with your family these next few days to acknowledge the good ways Jesus has been evident in your family this last year. Help create thankful hearts in your family by leading them to acknowledge Jesus goodness to you all.

Thank you Lord Jesus, THANK YOU.
