As Thanksgiving draws near, in the midst of family traditions, wonderful food, recreation and relaxation... please don't forget to give thanks to the One who formed you in your mother's womb (Psalm 139:13), who sustains you each day (Psalm 3:5), who gives you the ability to make wealth (Deuteronomy 8:18), who provides your daily bread (Matthew 6:11), who blesses you with good things (Psalm 103:5), who graciously redeemed your life from the pit (Job 33:28), who keeps you from turning away from Him (Jeremiah 32:40), and who one day will make you like His beloved Son (Philippians 3:21 & 1 John 3:2). He is worthy of our thanks and praise. May we give thanks to our awesome God--Father, Son, and Spirit--who alone deserves all glory. AMEN.
