If October is known for Halloween, November is known for Thanksgiving. And what is Thanksgiving known for? Turkey and dressing dinners with all the trimmings. We only have to examine the word “Thanksgiving” to understand what the meaning of this word is all about. It is a time set aside to give thanks to the Lord. I Thessalonians 5:18 says, “In everything give thanks.” It does not say, “for everything give things” but “in everything.” So in the midst of everything, good and bad, we are to give thanks. Although it is easy to give thanks when things are good, it is not so easy to give thanks then things are bad. But we can always thank the Lord that things are not worse than they are. Let us be thanks givers not only during November but every month of the year. Remember November is not turkey month. It is the month of thanksgiving.
