Wednesday

One of my FB friends made a very thought provoking comment today. He mentioned that the Pilgrims of the first Thanksgiving didn't celebrate holidays, and the irony that a holiday would be celebrated in their honor (at least in part). Another friend was led to ask whom the atheists are thanking in their celebrations of "Thanksgiving." Very interesting...

Whatever Thanksgiving is being used for rightly or wrongly, the Christian has the opportunity to give thanks to our Creator and Redeemer on Thanksgiving. I get to see my grandmother and spend time with extended family. We will have a feast and then it will conclude very suddenly. The meal will last about 20 minutes if you aren't intentional about slowing it down. The Christian needs to be more thankful everyday. Maybe tomorrow's remembrance will lead you into a pattern of continual Thanksgiving?
