Giving Thanks for God's Mercy

As we approach another National Thanksgiving Day this Thursday, it gladdens my heart that this particular holiday gives us a real opportunity to speak to others around us of what we are thankful for, and whom we are thankful to, for all that He has given to us. It is good when we can link our thankfulness to our God, the One from whom all blessings flow. The only thing which Thanksgiving represents, when it is truly celebrated, is that we are a thankful people for all that God has given to us; all that He has done for us as a nation and as a people. To celebrate Thanksgiving as a citizen of these United States is a very good thing. But to celebrate God's goodness and His mercy is something which we ought always to do as Christian people.
