Giving Thanks

Since thanksgiving is right around the corner, I wanted to talk about the point of the holiday.  I find it ironic that the very day after we have been giving thanks for what we have, we go out on Black Friday and buy a bunch of stuff.  There's nothing wrong with getting great deals buying things, don't get me wrong.  I think it's more of the WAY we buy them. The thing that I'm getting at is that we as humans are so selfish that sometimes we are only focusing on what we can get, instead of what we already have.  We have a God who provides everything we need and who sent his own son to die for us so that we could be forgiven.  Now if you ask me, that's a pretty cool gift.   Keep in mind as you prepare to stuff yourself with turkey and other deliciousness, that God gave you the best gift of all...he gave you life.
