Expressing Thanks

Psalms 100:4 "Enter into his gates with Thanksgiving and his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name."  God is so good to us.  We have so much to be thankful for.  We are to bless his holy name.  Thanksgiving is the day in which we give thanks and praise to God for his goodness in our lives.  We should thank him for who He is, for what He's done in our lives as far as being saved, and the bountiful blessings that he's bestowed upon us.  We have so much to be thankful for.  Tomorrow will be Thanksgiving Day.  We'll be headed to our families' houses to participate in a great feast which will consist of turkey, dressing, ham, cranberry sauce, dinner rolls, green beans, corn, and pumpkin pie, etc.  We will be feasting until we are stuffed.  Many people will be watching NFL football on television, which has been a Thanksgiving pastime for years.  There will also be Thanksgiving parades taking place such as the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade in New York City.  Americans will be spending their time with their friends and family. 

While we participate in all the celebrations that accompany Thanksgiving tomorrow, let's remember to give thanks unto the Lord for his bountiful blessings upon our lives.  We should express our thanks and adoration towards the Lord for being good to us.  We are so blessed.  Words can't even describe how blessed we are as a nation.  There are so many areas in which we are to express our thanks to the Lord.  What are some of the things in which we should give thanks unto the Lord?  There are numerous things we should thank the Lord for.  First of all, we should thank him for who He is.  We should thank him that He's a God that never changes; He always remains the same.  Secondly,  we should thank him for saving us from sin.  We should thank him for salvation.  Thirdly, we should thank him for the church.  Hebrews 10:25 tells us not to forskake the assembling of ourselves when it comes to the House of God.  Where would we be without the church?  We are to thank him for the brethren--those we can fellowship with.  We're also are to thank God for good health, our jobs, our own immediate family, and the opportunity to live each day.   We should also thank God for America and those that gave their lives on the battlefield so we can enjoy the freedoms we possess today.  We should thank him for all the bountiful blessings He's given us.  We have so much in which we can express our thanks toward him.  We could spend eternity praising him.  The things we are to praise him for are too innumerable.  He is good!  Praise the Lord!
