Thanksgiving
Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, rejoice. Let your gentleness (reasonableness) be known to everyone. The Lord is at hand (near); do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication (petition) with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. - Philippians 4:4-7

“In the year 1621, the Pilgrims held their first Thanksgiving feast. They invited the great Indian chief Massasoit, who brought ninety of his brave Indians and a great abundance of food. Governor William Bradford and Captain Miles Standish were honored guests. Elder William Brewster, who was a minister, said a prayer that went something like this: 'We thank God for our homes and our food and our safety in a new land. We thank God for the opportunity to create a new world for freedom and justice." - Linus' Thanksgiving Prayer
Keep the Faith... Carpe Diem
