Happy Thanksgiving!

Commentary By:  Gordon King

Happy Thanksgiving!  This is the day to celebrate and give thanks for all that we have.  A day to share with family and friends.  Let us give thanks for everything, for the Lord is good.

Let us also use this day as a reminder that we should give thanks to the Lord each and everyday!  He is our provider and is ever present.

Have a wonderful Thanksgiving Day!

God bless! Maranatha! Looking up!!!
