Verse of the Day 11/23
Psalm 100:4-5 Enter His gates with thanksgiving
and His courts with praise.
Give thanks to Him and praise His name.
5 For Yahweh is good, and His love is eternal;
His faithfulness endures through all generations. Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)
Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
Thanksgiving should be a time of giving thanks. For us as Christians it should be more than that. We should be thankful, but most of all we should give thanks to God who created all there is and has blessed us with so many things.
This year our family will be blessed to have four generations present for Thanksgiving. One of the things I hope to do this week is to take the "boys" out to the shooting range and pull out my grandfather's single shot 22 rifle. When my grandson shoots it he will be the fifth generation to shoot that gun. It has been handed down from generation to generation and will soon be passed on to the next.
One of the things that we should do this Thanksgiving is to look back over the generations and see how our faith in God has been passed along from generation to generation. Unlike the rifle which sits dormant in a corner of the closet for years at a time, our faith, that of our families should be "living and active", for it to be so, God's Word should be living and active in our hearts and most importantly in our actions, in our daily life.
Definitely take time today to give thanks, take time also to praise His name, for God is good and His faithfulness has endured and will endure to future generations.
Give thanks to the Holy One
Give thanks because He's given Jesus Christ, His Son

Psalm 100The Message (MSG)
A Thanksgiving Psalm
100 1-2 On your feet now—applaud God!
Bring a gift of laughter,
sing yourselves into his presence.
3 Know this: God is God, and God, God.
He made us; we didn't make him.
We're his people, his well-tended sheep.
4 Enter with the password: "Thank you!"
Make yourselves at home, talking praise.
Thank him. Worship him.
5 For God is sheer beauty,
all-generous in love,
loyal always and ever.
