Often I wonder just what my readers would like me to write about in my blogs. Blogs in general are amazing to me, from the time I first learned of them until now. To me they are somewhat like reading someone’s diary, very personal– yet written in a forum that the whole world can read.

We live in a world of enquiring minds…everyone wants to know everything about everyone. Yet so few people want to know anything about the most famous and important person that ever walked on the face of this earth…Jesus Christ.

Why do so few people want to know so little or nothing at all about the man that holds the power of life and death in His hands.The man who holds the keys to death and the grave, as well as the kingdom of heaven? 

We have become a self-absorbed society, filled with self-centeredness and selfishness. How did this happen? How did it get so “all about me?”

God has definitely blessed America. We are a blessed people living in a blessed land; a land of plenty. Many times when we have had so much for such a long period of time, we forget how it was not to have plenty. We forget those times in the past when we struggled to survive, prayed and God miraculously came through for us. Since then pride has crept in and we begin to feel that we deserve to be blessed. It is our right, not a blessing.

Let us never forget where our help comes. It comes from the Lord, who made heaven and earth. Let us repent and remember our past that we may be thankful for the present and for all that God has planned for our future. 

Thanksgiving is a season to remember. It is a season to remember and be thankful. It is more that stuffing ourselves with a huge turkey dinner of which so many of us do. It should be a special day that our country corporately gives thanks to our creator for all the things that He has done for our families, our friends, our land, and us. 

America, America, God certainly has shed His grace upon us. Can we do any less? Let us show grace and mercy to those around us and live to serve others, the way Christ so unselfishly served us; by giving His life we might live. 

Happy Thanksgiving to all, 
but more than that– 
Thank you Jesus for all you have done for me.
