Thanksgiving is a time when the world gets to see just how blessed and how workable the Christian system is. The emphasis is not on giving or buying, but on being thankful and expressing that appreciation to God and to one another.
Dear Lord; we beg but one boon more:
Thanksgiving is the holiday of peace, the celebration of work and the simple life... a true folk-festival that speaks the poetry of the turn of the seasons, the beauty of seedtime and harvest, the ripe product of the year - and the deep, deep connection of all these things with God.
Even though we're a week and a half away from Thanksgiving, it's beginning to look a lot like Christmas.
Thanksgiving is a season that is very much in accord with the themes and teachings of Jesus Christ.
Thanksgiving Day comes, by statute, once a year; to the honest man it comes as frequently as the heart of gratitude will allow.
As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them.
