By Him (Jesus) therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually,
that is, the fruit of our lips giving thanks to His name.
Hebrew 13:15* ~ ♥ ~ ✞ ~ ♥ ~ *
We are so blessed in America! We have an abundance of food, entertainment, music, and yet…we seem to be so unhappy. There is so much that God has given us as a nation to share and help others. This Thanksgiving, let us remember those who are less fortunate. Let us find ways, in the near future, to serve others and receive a great blessing, more than we could ever know.
Jesus is our great Intercessor. We are to bring everything to Him in prayer and supplication. If we ask what is godly and right in the name of Jesus—our Father will be able to grant our request. As we begin our day let us remember to give thanks to God for all that we have, since it is not ours. Everything we have has been granted to us.
The Pilgrims were so grateful to have a land to call their own and the freedom to worship God. After such a hard crossing and a hard harvest, they decided to celebrate and praise God for what they had. Let us do the same. Continuous praise should be on our lips and in our thoughts. Begin each new day with thanksgiving and praise and see what a difference it will make in your life and those around you.

Father, we come before You with much thanks and praise. You have given us everything we have. Forgive us when we are ungrateful. Help us remember You are the Giver of everything. In Jesus’ name, amen.
