Deuteronomy 8:1-10 (ESV)

The whole commandment that I command you today you shall be careful to do, that you may live and multiply, and go in and possess the land that the LORD swore to give to your fathers. And you shall remember the whole way that the LORD your God has led you these forty years in the wilderness, that he might humble you, testing you to know what was in your heart, whether you would keep his commandments or not. And he humbled you and let you hunger and fed you with manna, which you did not know, nor did your fathers know, that he might make you know that man does not live by bread alone, but man lives by every word that comes from the mouth of the LORD. Your clothing did not wear out on you and your foot did not swell these forty years. Know then in your heart that, as a man disciplines his son, the LORD your God disciplines you. So you shall keep the commandments of the LORD your God by walking in his ways and by fearing him. For the LORD your God is bringing you into a good land, a land of brooks of water, of fountains and springs, flowing out in the valleys and hills, a land of wheat and barley, of vines and fig trees and pomegranates, a land of olive trees and honey, a land in which you will eat bread without scarcity, in which you will lack nothing, a land whose stones are iron, and out of whose hills you can dig copper. And you shall eat and be full, and you shall bless the LORD your God for the good land he has given you.

"Or for the ladies to watch three Hallmark Christmas movies in a row?"

LOL. Yeah sounds familiar. At least they aren't the Lifetime Channel man-hating movies about stalkers, ex-husbands, ex-boyfirends, cheating husbands, cheating boyfriends, etc. etc.My significant other thrives on that crap, along with soap operas, etc. etc.

So here’s an idea: Today when you sit down for that big Thanksgiving meal, maybe say a few things that you’re thankful to God for.

I'm thankful that He put me FIRST IN LINE at the Trump Rally on Tuesday in Sunrise, FL.

But on a more serious note...good sermon although you neglected to declare that NOT brining your turkey is a grave sin. However, since it is Thanksgiving Day, I forgive you your oversight...this time only. So have a great Thanksgiving with a (hopefully) brined Turkey.

In China right now, Christians are being tortured and churches are being shut down.

Because they are not worshiping Winnie the Poo as God.

And perhaps you’ll think of a few other things to be thankful for, even if you don’t say them out loud--like how you’re thankful that Uncle Fred is still around to enjoy the turkey, and how Cousin Verlene’s clacking dentures aren’t so bad after all. The niece with the nose piercing who wants to argue politics?

Or a certain sister-in-law (that you met) who is so perpetually late that you have to tell her to arrive for Thanksgiving dinner at no later than 2 PM in order to make sure she arrives by 6.
