Sunday Is Coming

Good morning from Arizona

We pray all is well with you on this eve of Thanksgiving. LaVon and I have much to be thankful for: a place to serve our Lord, food and shelter, but the most important is YOU. We thank God daily for each of you, for praying for us and just loving us. Today instead of thanking God for things in your life stop and thank Him for the people He has brought into your life. May God bless you and you have a great day.

Have you ever heard someone say have a great Turkey-day?
So why do some call Thanksgiving-day, Turkey-day?
The answer is simple and clear. Satan desires to remove all reference to God from any thing that is for the purpose of worshiping God. Satan wants to divert all worship to him alone, therefore, he begins by chipping away at the stones that seem less important. Yet the holy Scripture warns: “If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do?” (Ps. 11:3) The Devil slowly takes away some here and a little there and the Christian fails to see the importance of such building blocks. The fact is we seem to be “ignorant of his devices” (II Cor. 2:11), we willingly refuse to see the impact of his deceptions.

Satan doesn’t want people to realize that they are supposed to be worshiping God by giving thanks unto Him. Instead the devil desires to make humans worship the creature more than the Creator. Think about it! Just look at the difference in the meanings of the words.

1. Thanksgiving - to give thanks.
2. Turkey-day - popularizes the feast and times that are spent edifying the flesh (the enemy of God).

So we see that Thanksgiving tells us to remember to worship God and the term Turkey-day tells us to only think about the feast.

Have a great day, love you, pass it on.

Humor for the day:
A large family sat around the breakfast table one morning. As the custom, the father returned thanks, blessing God for the food. Immediately after, however, as was his bad habit, he began to grumble about hard times, the poor quality of the food he was forced to eat, the way it was cooked, and much more.
His little daughter interrupted him,
“Dad, do you suppose God heard what you said a little while ago when you were giving thanks?”
“Certainly,” the father replied with the confident air of an instructor.
“And did he hear what you said about the bacon and the coffee?”
“Of course,” replied the father with a note of caution in his voice.”
Then his daughter asked, “Dad, which did God believe?”
