In America we are celebrating Thanksgiving Day. We have celebrated this holiday for over 200 years. It is a time when families get together to eat turkey, watch football, and fall asleep while kicking back in the Lazyboy. That's all fun and good but I wonder if anyone knows the reason and the true history of "turkey day."

I mean, what's the point of Thanksgiving?

Why do we meet every 3rd Thursday in November? Why do we take off work and halt our busy schedules for this? What's the big deal? Do we do it just because that is what we have been taught by our parents to do? Do we do it just because that is what everyone else does on this day? Do we do it because there is nothing better to do on that Thursday? Or is it something more significant than that?

In our culture that is more and more intolerant of Godly standards, Christian principles, and morally pure living, history books are being rewritten to remove the influence of Jesus Christ on our nation, even for Thanksgiving.

After all, who where the pilgrims, Puritans, and colonials giving thanks to? Do a little searching my friends, dig a little deeper into finding the reason for Thanksgiving. For when you do, you will find that God is at the very center of it.

What are YOU thankful for today?
