Thanksgiving is upon us. For most Americans it's just another holiday.Kids get off from school. Some businesses give four-day weekends. Manyhigh schools still have their big football game on Thanksgiving Day.College football stadiums are packed. This is also the traditionalbeginning of the Christmas shopping season. Children visit their parents.Retired folks visit their grandchildren. Families gather around sumptuousmeals of turkey, ham, dressing, gravy, salads and all the trimmings. It'sa fun and festive time.

Thanksgiving Day is also an opportunity for much more. Thanksgiving Dayis a time to pause from the hustle and bustle of daily life and thank Godfor the blessings of life, happiness, family, food, work, and shelter.Thanksgiving Day is a day to recognize God as the great Provider. He isthe One who gives life. He is the One who provides food. He is the Onewho enables us to work. He is the One who gives us homes and families. Heis the One placing us in the midst of freedom and opportunity in awealthy nation. He gave us the ingenuity, strength of mind, courage, andfortitude to carve out a life in a sometimes-hostile world. All thesethings are manifestations of His love. "Give thanks to the Lord, for Heis good; for His loving kindness is everlasting" (Psalm 136:1).
