The spirit of Thanksgiving is the time of year to reflect back on the past and think about all of the good blessing that the Lord has given us.

We also know that the spirit of Thanksgiving is about family, friends and a time of celebration.

We celebrate Thanksgiving by always being thankful, even though sometimes we might not have what we need.

We are supposed to have a spirit of gratitude and be grateful for whatever we have. Thanksgiving is also the loving thoughts that we have in our heart that reach from heart to heart, uniting love even though we have some that are miles apart from us.

Thanksgiving is family time sitting round the dinner table, holding hands, giving God thanks for the traditional feast, all the scrumptious food that only He has blesses us with. But as I always say when I write an article, “We know the every day is a day of Thanksgiving.”

Even our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ gave thanks when He fed the multitude with two fishes and five barley loaves of bead.

Matthew chapter 14 verse 19, read it for yourself.

So, as I end this article, I always like to add Psalm 100 in it verse 4. “Enter into his gates with thanksgiving and into his courts with praise.”

Be thankful unto him and bless his name, Happy Thanksgiving. God thank you for giving your son Jesus Christ to us. He chose to die on the cross of Calvary for our sins and we are forever thankful.

Thank you Lord for waking us up early this morning and you God chose us in our right mind and we are so thankful and we also thank you for good health and strength and all of this is an impact of daily Thanksgiving to God.
