"In every thing give thanks: for this is the will
of God in Christ Jesus concerning you."
~I Thessalonians 5:18~
Thanksgiving is a time to give thanks for all those blessings we have received throughout the year. The Bible says, "In everything give thanks..." In everything? Everything? What about when things just aren't going our way? What about when it seems that the world is falling down around our ears? Surely God can't expect us to give thanks in those times. But He does.
"In everything give thanks, for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you." The will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you... It is God's will. We must give thanks in everything. In the good, and in the bad. So, when you sit down at the dinner table on Thanksgiving ask God to help you remember His goodness and to be grateful, not only for the good, but also the bad. Then have each family member give thanks for something God has done.

Hi! I don't mean to sound ungrateful because I'm not! At all! I'm just not sure if I made the company couch ribbon award or an honorable mention. Which is great, but if I did make the company couch does someone else put the ribbon on my website?
That all sounds very sad and pathetic, but I am just wondering!
Blessings!
