The following extract comes from the introduction at the beginning of the ‘National Day of Thanksgiving’ web page;

“It is a day for us to pause as a nation and say thank you to God and to each other formany things we often take for granted but which really make our lives worth living.Let us use this day to be a blessing to those who have been ato us during the past year.“ I guess the Americans have been doing this for years, but this is a really Christian concept. I have always really liked the idea of a thanksgiving day. We have been commanded in scripture to “encourage one another daily, as long as it is called today.” Heb 3:13

This is more than just that however, we are also encouraged to give the glory to God. Bring it on. God deserves the Glory anyway, and there is certainly plenty to thank Him for. I hope this becomes a regular thing.
