Wishing you the joys of Thanksgiving

[Willowbirch]

How did this thread get onto a recipe for pies?
Sounds like a Baptist Pot-Luck dinner after the service is over

Brother Love

Gonna be a Baptist.

Willow, that is a toughie, since most pies have sugar in them. Low-carb. Hm...I'll have to look into that one.

Brother Love, you're invited to the feast! We wish you a wonderful Thanksgiving, too.

[Brother Love]

HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVERYONE!!

THANKSGIVING

God’s verdict upon the pagan world is that "they are with-
out excuse, because that, when they knew God, they glorified
Him not as God, neither were thankful..." (Rom. 1:20,21).

The Psalmist, on the other hand, declares:
       
"IT IS A GOOD THING TO GIVE THANKS UNTO THE LORD, AND
TO SING PRAISES UNTO THY NAME, O MOST HIGH:
       
"TO SHOW FORTH THY LOVINGKINDNESS IN THE MORNING.
AND THY FAITHFULNESS EVERY NIGHT" (Psa. 92:1,2).
       
Believers today have even more to be thankful for than
did the Psalmist, for we can rejoice in what God has done
for us through Christ and His redeeming work. Thus Paul,
by divine inspiration, speaks of...
       
"GIVING THANKS UNTO THE FATHER, WHO HATH MADE US
MEET [FIT] TO BE PARTAKERS OF THE INHERITANCE OF THE SAINTS
IN LIGHT:

"WHO HATH DELIVERED US FROM THE POWER OF DARKNESS,
AND HATH TRANSLATED US INTO THE KINGDOM OF HIS DEAR
SON" (Col. 1:12,13).

It is because of this "deliverance" that the humblest be-
liever can cry with Paul: "Thanks be unto God, who always
causeth us to triumph in Christ!" (II Cor. 2:14) and "Thanks
be to God, who giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus
Christ!" (I Cor. 15:57). How appropriate, then, are the fol-
lowing exhortations:
       
"In everything give thanks" (I Thes. 5:18) and "By
[Christ], therefore, let us offer the sacrifice of praise... giving
thanks to His name" (Heb. 13:15).
       
"For all things are for your sakes, that the abundant grace might through the thanksgiving of many redound to the glory of God" (II Cor. 4:15).

Most of all, "THANKS BE UNTO GOD FOR HIS UN-
SPEAKABLE GIFT," our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ! (II
Cor. 9:15).

A-a-a-a-amen!  

Some of the things I'm most thankful for, as far as earthly things: My wonderful family, that loves and supports me. I could not make a living off the job I have unless I lived in a cardboard box, and no one is pushing me to move out and get a life. My job (lol!) I love where I work, outdoors, with animals (real, fuzzy ones, not the kind that live in offices) and I get free hay/grain for our milk goats, which I also love. My red truck. Last year on Hallowe'en I received a pickup from the ranch where I work, no charge. Its old, rusting, and the tires go flat now and then, but I've liked it for all the years I worked at the ranch, and now its mine! The blessings of church family I am thankful to have found ChristiansUnite forums, as well as a deeper relationship with members of our local congregation.

There are a lot of needs out there, but we still have much to be thankful for.

Thanks, Elisabeth!

I'm grateful for my salvation. I know it sounds cliche, but I truly mean it. This year God has allowed me to see in much greater depth what nonChristians think and how they live and what the future for them will be. I'm just so glad Christ revealed the truth of His precious blood to me. How can I ever say thank you?

[Brother Love]

TRUE THANKSGIVING

Many people entertain only vague notions about thanks-
giving, just as they do about faith.

They confuse faith with optimism, will power, presump-
tion, imagination, and all sorts of other things. A doctor
tells his patient that but for his faith, he never would have
come through his illness. Somehow the patient was "just
sure" he would recover. A smiling mother encourages her
married daughter to "have faith, that everything will turn
out all right." But faith in God is believing God; believing
what He has said. True faith is based on the written Word
of God (See Rom. 10:17).

But unregenerate men have vague ideas about thanks-
giving. A man escapes some great harm and thanks his
"lucky stars." Another says: "I’m grateful for a healthy
body," but to whom is he grateful? He doesn’t say. In many
cases it doesn’t even occur to him to ask. He’s "just thank-
ful"!

How refreshing, then, it is to open our Bibles, especially
to the Epistles of Paul, the chief of sinners, saved by grace,
and to see him giving thanks for specific blessings, and
to a specific Person -- God!

"Giving thanks unto the Father, who hath made us meet [fit] to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light; Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of His dear Son" (Col. 1:12,13). "Thanks be unto God for His unspeakable gift!" (II Cor. 9:15). "Thanks be unto God, who giveth us the victory!" (I Car. 15:57). "Thanks be unto God, who always causeth us to triumph!" (II Cor. 2:14).
       
It is our prayer for all our readers that this Thanksgiving
season, and always, you may be especially thankful for "the
gift of God [which] is eternal life through Jesus Christ, our
Lord" (Rom. 6:23).

'TWAS THE NIGHT OF THANKSGIVING, BUT I JUST COULDN'T
SLEEP.
I TRIED COUNTING BACKWARDS, I TRIED COUNTING SHEEP.
THE LEFTOVERS BECKONED - THE DARK MEAT AND WHITE
BUT I FOUGHT THE TEMPTATION WITH ALL OF MY MIGHT.
TOSSING AND TURNING WITH ANTICIPATION
THE THOUGHT OF A SNACK BECAME INFATUATION.
SO I RACED TO THE KITCHEN, FLUNG OPEN THE THE DOOR
AND GAZED AT THE FRIDGE FULL OF GOODIES GALORE.
I GOBBLED UP TURKEY AND BUTTERED POTATOES,
PICKLES AND CARROTS AND BEANS AND TOMATOES.
I FELT MYSELF SWELLING SO PLUMP AND SO ROUND,
'TIL ALL OF A SUDDEN I ROSE OFF THE GROUND.
I CRASHED THROUGH THE CEILING, FLOATING INTO THE SKY
WITH A MOUTHFUL OF PUDDING AND A HANDFUL OF PIE -
BUT I MANAGED TO YELL AS I SOARED PAST THE TREES.....
"HAPPY EATING TO ALL - PASS THE CRANBERRIES PLEASE!"
MAY YOUR STUFFING BE TASTY, MAY YOUR TURKEY BE
PLUMP.
MAY YOUR POTATOES 'N GRAVY HAVE NARY A LUMP.
MAY YOUR YAMS BE DELICIOUS, MAY YOUR PIES TAKE THE PRIZE.
MAY YOUR THANKSGIVING DINNER STAY OFF OF YOUR THIGHS.

"HAVE A WONDERFUL THANKSGIVING"!!

So then, just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to live in him, rooted and built up in him, strengthened in the faith as you were taught, and overflowing with thankfulness.
