“Thanksgiving Blessings – Give Thanks”
For all of you in the USA, today is Thanksgiving. What does Thanksgiving Day mean to you? If you watch TV, read the papers, listen to the
talk shows, and see the ads, you’d think it was The Day Before Black Friday and Turkey Day. And, sadly, that’s what it’s been reduced to
for a majority of our citizens.
Hello? What is the Thanks and Giving all about?
Warning: This message will not be “politically correct.” I would rather hold to the founding principles that have stood the test of time and to those beliefs I have. Founding Principles and Beliefs – ALL Divinely Inspired. We could do no better than return to them in this day and age.
Please don’t take this wrong but if that offends you – you have three choices:
understand that’s who we are and read on, delete this email, or unsubscribe from this list. Every email has
an unsubscribe link at the bottom. We’ll part in peace.
So what is Thanksgiving? A day when we, as a country, as a nation of predominantly Christian believers, give thanks to God for His rich
blessings on this country. No doubt some of you are not Christians and believe differently. That’s fine. If you live in this country and enjoy our freedoms and are enjoying the opportunities you have here… then please give thanks where thanks is due.
EVERY person who legally comes to this country has equal opportunity. No other nation in the world has been such a “melting pot” to provide equal opportunity to all. A country of hope, opportunity and strength. Not “hope and change”.
A country that gives more to the rest of the world than all other countries combined. At least, that was the way we have been.
We have an established set of laws and regulations we are all supposed to abide by. And we are all equal no matter where we came from.
Please understand that we have a strong heritage of sacrifice by those who came to the shores of this land and endured much – all based on the hope
of a better future. People who fled persecution and risked all to start something better. Our forefathers sought Divine guidance in the process and, against many odds, were able to overcome adversity and endure. And today we are free ONLY because of the risk they took and it now rides on the back of the toil and spilled blood of thousands who came after them.
We owe them all so much and need be genuinely thankful. When’s the last time you heard that in the media?
We should do no less than fall on our knees and thank God for this rich land and system of government we have – even as corrupt as it has become.
But yet it seems all we hear in the media is “turkey day”, football and Black Friday. Where’s the Thanks? Where’s the remembrance of all those who risked their lives for our benefit and all that we inherited in the process?
I’m wondering how many of the current generation of 20+ year olds and younger actually know what Thanksgiving really is? Don’t seek answers from the media – you’ll get a very distorted view.
Any more we can’t stand for anything because we might offend someone. Hogwash. To not stand for who we are, to not acknowledge our Christian heritage, to pretend that we can’t make a statement of faith because not everyone believes like we do is like handing over our country to the enemy.
I pray for men, women, moms, dads, and leaders who will take a stand despite what the rest of world thinks. We didn’t achieve greatness by being a “me too” country.
In as early as one more generation we won’t have any semblance of heritage left and we’ll end up going the way many other countries that
don’t stand for anything anymore.
Lord help us, open our eyes, and let us see what’s really happening.
We have so much to be thankful for and every citizen of this great country needs to stop and be thankful for it in some way. Our government, as flawed as it may be, is still the best in the world. We have a lot of challenges in front of us and have lots of mis-directed politicians and special interests
who seemingly want to take this country down.
I pray we can find men and women of character to restore those principles we were founded on. I pray we can elect leaders who will stand up
for this country and put the country and its people first – instead of lining the pockets of the special interests and lobbyists.
I don’t care what party they are – doing the right thing shouldn’t need a party affiliation.
We’ve never seen corruption this bad and if we don’t clean house fast we’re headed down. Pray for this country. Pray for our leaders.
Pray they are shaken to the core and will put righteousness ahead of self interest.
Onward…
So what are you thankful for?
Take a few moments and think about that. Try focusing on the positive things in your life rather than all things the world tells you that you should have. Food, shelter, clothing, health, work?? How about God’s grace?
I like Dave Ramsey’s response when asked how he’s doing. He responds:
“Better than I deserve”.
Without God’s grace my life would be pretty ugly.
I’m thankful for our troops around the world who continually secure our safety in a world where many want to destroy us. Please pray for them and for their families for all their sacrifices.
There’s thousands of families who are apart this Thanksgiving because Fathers, Sons, Moms and Daughters are deployed half way around the world for OUR benefit. Pray for them all.
I am thankful for my family. For a loving wife who gives her all for us – as a wife, as a mother of 5 and a home school Mom. (She’s an angel)
And for my five kids (14 – 32) – who all have accepted the Lord as their personal savior.
I’m thankful for living in a country where I have the opportunity to risk personal funds, blood, sweat and tears to start a business and have personal gain through it. It doesn’t come with any guarantees. Both the rewards and the losses are mine (except the tax part, that is….).
For those of you receiving this message – Thanks.
From my family to yours, thanks for your interest and support for our business. We strive to provide products and services that are helpful, useful,
at a fair price and try our best to serve you with respect.
We’re not perfect but will always try to make it right if we fail.
So there ya go. My Thanksgiving Blessing to all of you. Thanks for reading.
We’ll get back to regular horse tips tomorrow.
In the meantime – enjoy friends and family. Take a few moments to express your gratitude to those around you for all your provision and for the
blessings you’ve been given.
Encourage one another in the Lord and lift up those around you who need it. We all need the support of other like-minded folks to stay alert,
fight back the enemy and thrive.
Lord bless you all. Happy Thanksgiving!
