Thanksgiving is more than a Holi - DAY!! • 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 • 16 Rejoice always, 17 pray without ceasing, 18 give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.
We Transform Thanksgiving from a Holiday When We Are: • Thankful To The Right Person • "Thankful to Whom?" • Psalm 103:1,2 - Bless the Lord, O my soul, and all that is within me,bless his holy name! 2 Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits,
Thankful For The Right Reasons • Our List? • David's List - Psalm 103:3-5 • 3 who forgives all your iniquity, who heals all your diseases, 4 who redeems your life from the pit, who crowns you with steadfast love and mercy, 5 who satisfies you with goodso that your youth is renewed like the eagle's. • Forgiveness • Redemption • Satisfaction • 2 Corinthians 4:16 • So we do not lose heart. Though our outer self is wasting away, our inner self is being renewed day by day.
Thankful At The Right Time • "In all circumstances“ • Philippians 4:11 • Not that I am speaking of being in need, for I have learned in whatever situation I am in to be content. • God - the loving Father - Psalm 103:13-14 • 13 As a father shows compassion to his children,so the Lord shows compassion to those who fear him. 14 For he knows our frame;he remembers that we are dust.
I lift my heart to Thee, O God, in gratitude and praise, For all Thy blessings of the past, and those of future days. I thank Thee for my faithful friends, for sunshine and rain, And every blessing hid or seen, though some may come with pain. O God, accept my thanks to Thee each time I come to pray, And grant that each day I live will be Thanksgiving Day.
Thanksgiving is not a Holi -DAY! Thanksgiving is a Holi - WAY!
