Thanksgiving
I thought I would share a few verses of Scripture with you as we prepare to honor another thanksgiving. I realize Thanksgiving is for our nation and in remembrance of these first settlers, but I thought the One who we ought to be thanking every day of our lives ought to be honored. I pray your thanksgiving is a blessed one and that you count your blessings daily. (All scriptures are from the New American Standard Bible)
