IT ISN'T ABOUT THE TURKEY
And it isn't about the family gathering for a big dinner and coffee with pumpkin pie.
Thanksgiving is a thankfulness to God for the land He has given us; and a time of remembering our pilgrim forefathers who sat down to their first thanksgiving harvest with a few kernels of corn on their plate. They were thankful to be alive, for so many had died on the way to the promised land, or after they arrived. They had great hope for their new land, and a place to worship freely.
Our constitution shows that they expected God to be in all they did. It is not only a piece of art, but a plan we can still live by, if we will. It is the only constitution of any nation that has lasted over two hundred years. Why should we throw it away, as some would like to do?
As those founders of our nation knelt to pray, they trusted God to lead them in the good times and the bad. "No king, but King Jesus," they cried. King Jesus is still the best source of leadership we can have. Trust Him!

IT ISN'T ABOUT THE ECONOMY
Even though the economy is hurting our nation and the whole world, God is not limited by money or things we have, or don't have. He still owns all silver and gold, and the cattle on a thousand hills.
The problem is can we trust Him to take care of us in times like these. Can we remember He fed Elijah from the kings table by the ravens? Or fed five thousand from 5 barley loaves and 2 fish. They picked up 12 basketfuls of leftovers. He can do it again. Can we trust Him? He is still the God of thanksgiving. Thank Him! Praise Him! And He is still the Babe in the manger who became the Man who died that we might live.
