Happy Thanksgiving 2009

May Americans everywhere take this day to reflect on our history, our heritage and the challenges before us. May we be thankful for what we have as well as thankful for what we have been spared. May we remember our Christian heritage in particular with all that attends upon that Christian heritage. May those who are not Christians be blessed with a curiosity to discover true Christianity.

"Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver.

And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work:

(As it is written, He hath dispersed abroad; he hath given to the poor: his righteousness remaineth for ever.

Now he that ministereth seed to the sower both minister bread for your food, and multiply your seed sown, and increase the fruits of your righteousness;)

Being enriched in every thing to all bountifulness, which causeth through us thanksgiving to God.

For the administration of this service not only supplieth the want of the saints, but is abundant also by many thanksgivings unto God;

Whiles by the experiment of this ministration they glorify God for your professed subjection unto the gospel of Christ, and for your liberal distribution unto them, and unto all men;

And by their prayer for you, which long after you for the exceeding grace of God in you.

Thanks be unto God for his unspeakable gift.

" ~2 Cor 9:7-15

I saw an article from Newt headlined, "To Whom Shall We Give Thanks?" I could not believe anyone would be so dumb as to write such a think, but then, I'm not a politician (one could question whether Newt is actually a politician either the way he continually fumbles).

Happy Thanksgiving to you and all of your family, Mom.
