During this season of Thanksgiving, may we remember to express gratitude for all of His many blessings. Have you ever heard, “What if God only blessed you today with what you thanked Him for yesterday?” I am so thankful for His love, grace, and mercy! We have much to be grateful for each day.
As we celebrate wonderful blessings this upcoming Thanksgiving week, I want to take this time to also thank you for your continued support. We have joined together for a common cause - to defend traditional family values. I think you will agree that we have experienced many great victories together. It is my prayer that the Lord continues to use us as salt and light in our communities and nation.
I have been taught if the Scripture mentions something once, then we better pay attention. If it mentions it twice, then we better take heed.
Let our families express our thanks through Scripture during this Thanksgiving holiday:
Monday – “Always giving thanks for all things in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ to God, even the Father;” Ephesians 5:20 (NASB 1995)
Tuesday – “O give thanks to the Lord, for He is good; For His lovingkindness is everlasting.” 1 Chronicles 16:34.
Wednesday – “In everything give thanks; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.” 1 Thessalonians 5:18.
Thursday – “Praise the Lord! Oh give thanks to the Lord, for He is good; For His lovingkindness is everlasting.” Psalm 106:1.
Friday – “Enter His gates with thanksgiving And His courts with praise. Give thanks to Him, bless His name. For the Lord is good; His lovingkindness is everlasting And His faithfulness to all generations.” Psalm 100:4-5.
1MM gives thanks to God this Thanksgiving holiday and every day!
Have a Blessed Thanksgiving!
