There are two parts to Thanksgiving Day.
The first part is the hard work of learning to live in God’s grace. Then we see His miracles and begin to understand how He makes life worth celebrating and giving thanks.
The second part happens on the occasion of Thanksgiving Day. We gather family and friends. Then as a nation we take the time to reflect upon what He has given us. We humble ourselves in the knowledge that He makes all things possible. We thank Him for His blessings.
Below is a video (H/T to Crystal Clear Conservative) of a Thanksgiving Day celebration. The video is from one of Charles Kuralt‘s “On the Road” segments on The CBS Evening News with Walter Cronkite.
Happy and Safe Thanksgiving, Tom, and everyone!
Be sure to write on my wall of thanks if you care to:
