What Does Being Thankful Mean?



We are coming up on that time in the year when many get a four day vacation. What does being thankful mean? To many it has to do with all of the accumulation of worldly possessions, celebrating that with family and friends with all sorts of food. 
*
To others, they look to the time of the Pilgrims who came to America and were thankful for surviving the dangerous journey that many did not, or died thereafter due to sickness. (Not taking in mind their Christian freedom to worship Jesus Christ as they felt led of the Holy Spirit rather than being told how to by a government or religious system.)
*  
But, to those who know our Savior and LORD Jesus Christ, it has to do with salvation. Christianity is wholly and totally separate from "religion."  It isn't a religion. It is the Truth, Way, and Light not beholding to man's world religions' philosophies.
*
Thanksgiving Day is a day to thank our Awesome, Almighty, Creator, Savior, Holy Father GOD; for the blessings He has bestowed upon each of us personally and individually, beginning with salvation.
*
Those who may not know this, read the book of John in the New Testament of the Holy Bible. You are the one to make your choice to accept or reject the greatest "thankful" man could ever have. When you do accept, the greatest thing happens in your life; GOD reveals Himself to you! This is my greatest thanksgiving!
