BE THANKFUL!!!!!!

There are many people who seem to thing that Thanksgiving Day is the only time they should pause, be quiet and give a little thanks to God.  Many others think that Thanksgiving Day is just a time for feasting.

 The children of God know the true essence of the word “Thank,” that we should thank God minutely, hourly and daily for his love and for bounteous blessing in every way and for everything.

 Here are some of the things we should be thankful for.

1.  We should be thankful that we are children of the Heavenly King, bought by a price, the price of Jesus’ blood, who suffered and died that we as His children have a part to the tree of Life.
2.  We can all be humbly thankful that we are human beings with hearts, minds and souls to think, do and share in helping to bless the world, and that we have a reasonable portion of health and strength. 
3. We can be thankful that we live, work and share in the wealth of this great country of ours.  We have the privilege and right to exercise the freedom granted every citizen, freedom of speech, press, religion, voting and congregating, and we can live in any town, city or state we desire.  Many citizens in many other countries aren’t as fortunate as we are. 
4.  We can be thankful for the rapid strides and progress that the Black race has accomplished in the past 55 years.  Everywhere you go now-days you see Blacks serving in every capacity- a Black President of the United States of America.  All praises to God, our Heavenly Father!!

 When we think of the rapid progress of Blacks we can attribute much of this progress to Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., Fred Shuttlesworth, James Farmer, their followers, the sit-inner, the marchers, the sufferers who received dog bites and water hose baths, the martyrs in Mississippi, the prayers.  The NAACP, the Freedom Riders, and above all, God, who is at the basis of all this.

Can’t you just image you hear your slave ancestry who suffered in agony, crying, O Lord, O Lord, How Long, How Long.  And another piteous feeble voice whispering, O Lord! Please let my people go.

 In this generation, we needed to build businesses, integrate, be prayerful, be loving, be broad and above all, BE THANKFUL!

 

Thanksgiving Blessing to all!!!!!
