I LIED =D

I know i said i wasnt going to post until i got home but a video in church hit me hard today... It was about this homeless man who was so thankful for God and for everything he provides us with in life and on Thanksgiving...
So when we think of Thanksgiving we think of the Pilgrims and Indians and how they celebrated together and what not... and also when we think of Thanksgiving we think of turkey and dressing and all the fixings...
Open your eyes people... none... i repeat NONE of this would be possible without God. We all know that... but do we really express it over Thanksgiving.. the holidays are hectic... God understands that.. but that doesnt mean you push him out of your life when something gets hard.. Your not only doing this to eat a good turkey or to spend time with family..but your doing it for God... give thanks to all he has done for us and will continue to do...

2 Corinthians 8:9
For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though eh was rich. yet for your sakes he became poor, so that you through his poverty might become rich.


2 Corinthians 9:7
Each man should gibe what he has decided in his heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.

These verses really jumped out at me... maybe because every verse in the bible hits me in some shape, form or fashion but nevertheless... its great lol
Thanksgiving is all about giving thanks... to your past and present to your family and friends... and especially to God and Jesus Christ.. if it wasnt for them we wouldnt have this amazing holiday to celbrate...
