Thanksgiving 2016

Earlier this month I was asked to give a testimony at the nursing home ministry about something for which I'm thankful.

As I began to think of all the different things I am thankful for, such as my home and my family, I realized that there are many people who do not have such things. I did not want to be insensitive to those who did not have all the blessings that I do.

I thought about God and how he is the source of all my blessings. And I considered a question. What if all of these blessings were taken away from me, would I still be thankful?

That night at the nursing home ministry I shared how I was thankful most of all for the fact that my sins have been forgiven because Jesus died on the cross. I shared how forgiveness of sin was our greatest need as human beings.

All of these considerations swirl about in my mind as I realize that I fall short when I am thankful for all my blessings. I am most thankful for the Blesser--- even Jesus Christ the Righteous.

Remember Him this Thanksgiving--- the greatest Revolutionary of them all.
