Thanksgiving Is In Season

As AverageGirl mentioned on her blog, the Thanksgiving Holiday seems to be forgotten in this consumer-driven world. So she decided to post about things she is thankful for during the month of November. I thought, "Hey, good idea! I'll jump on the Thanksgiving Bandwagon!"

Today I'm thankful for employment. I hear on the news about the economic downturn and that so many have lost their jobs. I hear about companies tightening their belts and unofficial hiring freezes.

But I'm thankful that God provides. He has always taken care of Anita and me.

And along these lines I'm thankful for God's Word in Matthew chapter 6:25-27. "Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more important than food, and the body more important than clothes? Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?
