Thanksgiving



Colossians 2:6 So then, just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to live in him, 7rooted and built up in him, strengthened in the faith as you were taught, and overflowing with thankfulness.
To be overflowing in thankfulness means, the thankfulness inside of you is so much, it satisfies you and then pours out externally to others around you. Thanksgiving Day is here and the main ingredients of a true Thanksgiving Holiday is found in: God, family, friends and sharing food. From its humble roots in our American history to today, it is a day of reflection of how much we have, as Christians and as Americans.I will celebrate it and remember God's provision with my closest family and friends. This year it will be with Mom's cooking. Traditional turkey and rice and gandules, picked from my own backyard. I am thankful to God for my wife and kids, my family and my church family. My Pastors and ministry partners and my cell group who are the bomb. I am also thankful for the many lessons learned this year and the the way God has touched our lives.
I wish everyone a happy and a blessed Thanksgiving, how will you spend it this year and what are you thankful for?
