Thanksgiving

"Was that a gunshot?"

I was in Kroger at 8:00 last night picking up the few things that I needed, when I began to notice that the store seemed to be primarily inhabited by the male species. It became painfully obvious that these poor lost souls were sent there by their wives/girlfriends/significant other. They were bewildered. At one point it looked as though they were all gathered at the front of the store wondering and asking, "what is marshmallow crème anyway?” I have to admit that I truly enjoyed my shopping experience. The entertainment I received by watching the unsuspecting confused and frustrated cast of survivors was priceless. I know that when they arrived back at their homes and brought in their goods, they were met with much appreciation which made it worth the hunt. I don't know why we think that we should cook so much food on thanksgiving. I mean I have no Indians to invite over and we have enough to serve the entire Indian Nation. We truly are blessed as a nation and even more so as individuals. Our pastor wanted us to remember 7 reasons why we should be thankful. They are as follows:

1. Remember His titles and be thankful for His position.

2. Be thankful for His power.

3. Be thankful for His wisdom.

4. Remember His miracles and be thankful for His ministry.

5. Remember His promises and be thankful for His faithfulness.

6. Remember His parables and be thankful for His words.

7. Remember His presence.

I am so thankful for all these things and so much more. I am thankful for each and every one of you and I'm praying that all of you had a wonderful Thanksgiving.

Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. (Philippians 4:6)
