Our nation has set aside one day each year, the fourth Thursday of November, as a day of Thanksgiving. We have much for which to be thankful as a nation, freedom, security, and plenty. The turkey is the symbol we all relate to Thanksgiving Day.
Christians should not wait until November to be thankful for all their blessings. All good and perfect gifts come from God. That includes not only the temporal blessings, but the spiritual blessings like salvation, the church, the Scriptures, and our hope.
God deserves thanks every day. All we do should be done in an attitude of gratitude, giving the glory to our Father in Heaven.
1 Thessalonians 5:18 "in everything give thanks, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus".

Happy Thanksgiving, FF&F. Enjoy your day.
Thanks, Pinhole, I did!
I've always found it interesting, ff&f, that David appointed priests whose full time job was giving thanks. Apparently there was always someone giving thanks, 24 hours a day, up through the time of worship in the temple and all.
Something to learn from there!
nice additional thoughts HiFidelity
Yesterday, a friend of ours who is living in London right now, and will be in Singapore sometime next year for a 3-year stint, was with us for our worship service here. He led the opening prayer, and it was one of the most beautiful prayers of thanks I've ever heard. You would have been moved, ff&f.
