THANKFUL THURSDAY…. November 26, 2009
Those of you who read this blog regularly know we have a “Thankful Thursday” every week but today is especially a day to pause in our hurried lifes and remember to give thanks. It’s Thanksgiving Day in the United States.
Sunday I was surprised to learn the origin of this becoming a nationally celebrated holiday in our country. Our pastor told the story of the lady who made appeals before 3 Presidents before she got one to declare a special day set aside every year to offer thanks in our country. The last Thursday in November was officially chosen.
Can you guess which President granted the holiday? President Abraham Lincoln! Does that amaze you as it does me? He lived through one of the most trying times our country has faced – dealing with a civil war – and yet he realized the importance of thankgiving! Wow!
Do you have any idea the lady’s name who campaigned for this national holiday? Her name was Sarah Hale – better known for the popular poem she wrote entitled “Mary Had a Little Lamb“.
Greatful am I for this lady who had the perserverance to see her goal accomplished. She was wise to understand the importance of recognizing blessings… to understand the powerful affect thankfulness has on our inner strength. So today amid so many, many personal blessings I am thankful to my heavenly Father for providing, I also say, “Thank you, Father, for Sarah Hale.”
“Let us come before Him with thanksgiving and extol Him with music and song” Psalm 95:2
WEDNESDAY WISDOM….. November 25, 2009
“Don’t be deceived, my dear brothers. Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who doesn’t change like shifting shadows” James 1:16-17
What an appropriate reminder as we prepare for a day of Thanksgiving. It is the Lord who allows us to take the next breath. Therefore, even our very life is in His hands whether we acknowledge Him or not. How secure we can be to know He doesn’t change. His is a constant love.
