don't forget to give thanks

As Thanksgiving approaches, the posts will be coming fastly and furiously. And in those posts, I'll focus on food. So, before that begins, with this post I want to encourage you Americans to remember to give thanks on Thursday.

You have been blessed. Not blessed by just anyone. And, not just blessed, but blessed by God. Not with just the food on your table either--you've been blessed with the mercy-filled gift of His Son--not a gift from God's Son--rather He IS the gift.

Immanuel, God incarnate (God with meat) is also the Bread of Life and we Christians observe His life every week with a feast of bread. We also remember His death every week with wine. Continue this remembrance this Thursday as we feast.

Even if you aren't Christian, God has blessed all nations--including yours--through His Son.

Give Thanks! The feast is prepared.
