Even though we are to be thankful every day and for everything, therefore everyday is Thanksgiving for Christians, I still think it is good to ask, what are you thankful for?
Now when I ask this I am asking for more unique and personal things. Yes we are all thankful for God's love, family and friends, food , shelter, clothes and freedom but I consider that the easy way out.
I am thankful for my computer. It is the only way I can communicate with family and friends. Also it is the only way I can interact with people. People give computer users a bad reputation. Some nurses say I am as bad as their sons. Well no I am not, they are taking themselves for granted. Computer is the only thing I can do besides watch garbage on TV.
Hello Brother David,
I know this is Thanksgiving in Canada, so HAPPY THANKSGIVING!
It's really HAPPY THANKSGIVING and HAPPY SON-DAY for us every day.
It's true that many bad things can be done with computers, but it's also true that many good things can and are being done with the computer. Without them, you and I would probably have never met, and we wouldn't be able to converse with each other whenever we want to. We can share a portion of Scripture, a Testimony, a Devotion, or a Bible Study here and many thousands of people will read it. GOD will use it however HE wishes, and GOD has already Promised us that HIS WORD will never return void.
The vast majority of us are just plain people without very much money, so most of us can't afford to travel around the world to share the GOSPEL of the GRACE OF GOD. Further, many of us don't have the health for a trip like that.
However, GOD has given us a way to share the GOOD NEWS with people all over the world. This is yet another thing on our huge list of things to give THANKS to GOD for.
On the other side of the coin, there are many people who are wealthy in the material things of this world, but they don't have JESUS CHRIST as LORD and SAVIOUR. Material things don't make people happy, and those material things are only used for a very short time. In fact, some of the richest people in this world are miserable. The poorest Christian has a great list of precious treasures that money can't buy, and they can't be stolen. They are free GIFTS that only GOD can Give.
As we THANK GOD for all of our Blessings, let's ALL pray that the lost will open their hearths and accept JESUS CHRIST as LORD and SAVIOUR. In fact, let us pray that THE HOLY SPIRIT OF GOD will soften their hearts for the Hearing of GOD'S WORD.Love In Christ,
Tom
Thanks be unto God for His unspeakable GIFT, Jesus Christ, our Lord and Saviour Forever!
Ephesians 3:14-19 NASB
For this reason I bow my knees before the Father, from whom every family in heaven and on earth derives its name, that He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with power through His Spirit in the inner man, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; and that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth, and to know the love of Christ which surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled up to all the fullness of God.
