As I prepare my Thanksgiving message for tomorrow, I am reminded what it was like for those who first set foot in this country and how they struggled to live.

As we approach the "official day" of recognition, I hope that you take a moment to reflect on what we have to be thankful for. I know that we have a lot of difficulties in this life; I know that there is pain and suffering all around us. However, God's Word specifically says, "In everything give thanks."

My message is titled We are Greatly Blessed and it is a reminder of who we are and who God is. I'll see you tomorrow with a Bible in my hand and a prayer of Thanksgiving in my heart for the bounteous blessings of our Lord toward us.
