Tomorrow is Thanksgiving Day in America. It's an annual day that had it's beginnings with a group of pilgrims celebrating their survival in a new land with food and thanksgiving. Today is the day we gather for a traditional meal of turkey and a dozen other things that are not only delicious, but required for a real Thanksgiving meal. The reason for the first celebration was thanks to God. It's not the reason many celebrate it now, but giving thanks to God is a key element to the Judeo-Christian faith. Throughout the bible giving thanks is an acknowledgment that what we have comes from God. In fact the bible says that all things come from God's gracious hand. Take a few minutes tomorrow and thank God for something in your life. He gave it all to you, it only seems right that you take a moment and thank him.
