HOW THANKFUL ARE YOU

The holiday known as Thanksgiving is just a few months away...

WOW, can you believe it..

Yes, this year has flown by. It is almost the middle of July already.

Now for a little bit of history --

We celebrate Thanksgiving because after the harvest crops were gathered in November 1623, Governor William Bradford of the 1620 Pilgrim Colony, “Plymouth Plantation” in Plymouth, Massachusetts proclaimed:

"All ye Pilgrims with your wives and little ones, do gather at the Meeting House, on the hill… there to listen to the pastor, and render Thanksgiving to the Almighty God for all His blessings."

October 3, 1863, Abraham Lincoln proclaimed, by Act of Congress, an annual National Day of Thanksgiving. In this Thanksgiving proclamation, our 16th President says that it is…

"…announced in the Holy Scriptures and proven by all history, that those nations are blessed whose God is the Lord… But we have forgotten God. We have forgotten the gracious hand which preserved us in peace and multiplied and enriched and strengthened us, and we have vainly imagined, by the deceitfulness of our hearts, that all these blessings were produced by some superior wisdom and virtue of our own… It has seemed to me fit and proper that God should be solemnly, reverently and gratefully acknowledged, as with one heart and one voice, by the whole American people…"

So it is that on Thanksgiving Day each year, Americans give thanks to Almighty God for all His blessings and mercies toward us throughout the year.

Think about that..it is sad that so many people that they are only to THANK GOD one day a year. How many people go about their lives every day and never think to THANK GOD that they woke up?

They never thank God for anything… It's true..

What on this earth is ours?

Where did we get it?

Genesis 1:1-2
In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. [2] And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.

So who should you be thankful to? ONLY GOD..

HOW THANKFUL ARE WE???? THINK ABOUT IT THIS WAY…

What if you woke up with only the things/people that you had thanked GOD for the day before?

THANKSGIVING…. ❤

GOD, THANKS FOR GIVING ❤

GOD GAVE US ALL ❤

<3 BE THANKFUL <3
EVERYDAY FOR EVERYTHING

God Bless You and Your Family,

I GOT THIS ??

As we are now entering a new month, we pray that you Lord will carry us through each day whatever comes our way. You will lift us up when we walk through deep waters; you will guard our steps each day if we are walk near high cliffs. You will be with us in and out of danger. You, and ONLY you, are our lifeguard, and our protector; our Savior, our Heavenly Father. I pray that we desire ONLY to follow where you lead us to go. Luke 9:23 And he said to them all, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily and follow me. Everyday many of us make calendars..and YES it is a new month...SEPTEMBER is here !!! We make calendars to keep track of events, appointments, and other happenings or events going on in our lives. We are so busy rushing around in our lives and trying to micromanage. We have it down to the very detail. Some may have a daily schedul...

LET GO AND LET GOD

Have you ever set back and thought... Well, maybe it is time for me to let GOD take control of this in my life. First of all, You need to realize that GOD really already has control -- but he wants you to surrender to him that control. There probably are some of you out there who have thought about it, but how many of you have done it... You need to REALLY let him have control.. Let go of the worry and stress that is dragging you down.. LET GO AND LET GOD..... The Bible says Psalms 55:22 Cast thy burden upon the LORD, and he shall sustain thee: he shall never suffer the righteous to be moved. WHY WOULD ANYONE KEEP CARRYING BURDENS WHEN GOD WILL CARRY THEM FOR US???? They are not ours, but HIS.. We have to realize that we cannot truly handle things on our own...we have to say DEAR LORD.. Not mine, but yours. It may be hard, but we have to g...

Of Hens and Humans

I saw a lot of human characteristics and actions while I sat there on the stoop at my Mama's Ruby's house. You can learn a lot watching the happenings in a barnyard. I know I did watching the many adventures of my grandparent's roosters and chickens. This brought to me, after all of these years, in a featherly way what is common and wrong in the lives of people. We are a lot like those birds. I have a beautiful group of chickens and roosters. They are all different varieties and colors. Each one has its own style and personality. I named one of those beautiful hens, Ellie Mae. She was a victim of the other chickens’ unfair treatment. She was a beautiful hen. I would sit and watch her walk around the grass. I was sitting on the porch cracking some pecans one day. We were going to make some pies. I noticed that sweet Ellie Mae had some feathers missing. L ater that day, I saw what had ha...
