A Day Of Thanks

Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday. It is not about gifts to buy, but about the gifts we have been given. It is all about giving thanks and being grateful for the bounties we have. It is about being with loved ones. Thanksgiving is a time to be grateful for everything you have and celebrate the simple things: family, friends, health, and happiness. 

The concept of Thanksgiving can be traced back to the Holy Bible, where it represents a fundamental aspect of God’s people. In both the Old and New Testaments, Thanksgiving emphasizes gratitude and praise to God for His many blessings. The biblical interpretation of Thanksgiving refers to: Devotion. Sacrifice.

Thanksgiving, at its core, is an expression of gratitude, a virtue that resonates deeply in spiritual teachings across various faiths. Gratitude is not merely a courteous acknowledgment of blessings; it is a profound recognition of the divine benevolence that permeates every aspect of our lives.

To give thanks for just being and able to receive support, as well as give support, to those you love as well as those in need. Thanksgiving = Grateful — hence the ability to share/give with nothing in return.

I know I have many reasons to be thankful, not just today, but everyday.

I wish you all a very Happy and safe Thanksgiving. Be thankful for what you have today, tomorrow and everyday. God Bless.

  3. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family….and animals! They are part of the family.
    We got a new family member…a prairie dog named Rudy….Martha our Saint tolerates him and now is protecting and looking over him…probably reluctantly but is all the same.
