I know I am loved by the King, and it makes my heart want to sing.

Happy day of thanksgiving.

    How cool – the Chris Tomlin song in my heart today says:
    My chains are gone
    I’ve been set free
    My God, My Savior
    Has ransomed me…
    Happy Thanksgiving All

    We don’t have Thanksgiving here in Australia (with the exception of a few sporadic parties in the US ex-patriot community).

    Thanksgiving, however, is a characteristic of the Christian life. Paul said it best in Col 3:16-17

    Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom, and as you sing psalms, hymns and spiritual songs with gratitude in your hearts to God. And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.

    Martin,

    No turkey,mashed potatoes,stuffing,gravy,
    pumkin pie! Oh well. You mentioned the real
    truth concerning Thanksgiving day–giving
    thanks. Approptiate scripture, thanks.

    No, we do our mid-winter feasting over Christmas (except its high summer Down Under).

    Thanksgiving is a very American festival (and there’s nothing wrong with that). The original “myth”, with its frontier perspective and providential care for the earliest Pilgrim settlers is affirmative of the American Dream. Its “message” could almost be “We thank you God for your creation of the American Nation”.

    The celebration of Christmas is actually more global; its even celebrated in Islamic countries. Maybe its the heritage of the British Empire. For example, the Indians (in India BTW, not the New World) sometimes say that the British gave them two things; the Railway and Christmas.

    Being European, my calendar is set to Christmas, not Thanksgiving, but I’m conscious of the intermingling of the European myths and the Gospel stories.

    Even so, I wish all our American friends a Happy Thanksgiving.
