Thursday is Thanksgiving Day in the U.S.
According to Billy Graham, “For the Christian, every day is Thanksgiving Day.”
I like that quote, don’t you? I read it in an article on Biblegateway.com entitled “The Purpose of Thanksgiving.” There is some great Bible teaching here, so I commend it to you.

To say I am thankful that I read this article is an understatement. My prayer for you and me is that we will cultivate a life of thanksgiving. As Matthew Henry wrote, “Thanksgiving is good but thanks-living is better.” (Another quote from this article.)
Have a thankful day!
