Give Thanks

...in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.
1 Thessalonians 5:18 (NKJV)


The founders of this great country, sought freedom, fought and struggled for it even in the face of fierce resistance and deadly opposition. The journey has not always been easy, but they thought it reasonable and appropriate to set a day apart to be thankful and appreciative. The tradition and activity has endured and celebrated more till this day.

Kings (King Solomon, David, etc), Noah, Abraham, and numerous others in the bible together with our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ gave underscored 'thanksgiving' in their time. They gave thanks for their situations at different turns in their lives.

As the scripture directs, In our daily lives and in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.

Be encouraged,
