Thanksgiving. A time when we reconnect with our extended family and make the most delicious meal of the year. A time when we pause to reflect on all of the many, many, MANY blessings that God has bestowed upon us. Unless you are the president of the United States.
Today, Thanksgiving day, our president gave his radio address thanking 'pilgrims, pioneers, and patriots.' He called Thanksgiving a 'celebration of community.' But he left out the most important thing - the reason for the season - God.
If you're not thanking God, you are denying where the blessings are actually coming from. You're missing the whole point. Or as one pastor pointed out today, "To give thanks for luck is to deny God."
Maybe that's why things aren't getting any better...
