Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; his love endures forever. Psalm 118:1
The United States of America will be celebrating Thanksgiving Day on November 22. Originally this day was set aside as a day in which our nation would pause to give thanks to the Creator God of the universe, the Great and Mighty Jehovah for the blessings brought to our nation.
Since that proclamation given by President Abraham Lincoln in 1863, Thanksgiving day has become less of a religious holiday by many and more a time for feasting and shopping and football.
Over the next couple days ‘Built with Grace’ invites you to reflect on the true reasons for Thanksgiving based on Luke 17:11-19.
Give thanks to the Lord!
