“And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.”
Colossians 3:17 NIV
This week, we celebrated the Thanksgiving holiday. What’s sad is few people actually celebrate the holiday for what it was originally intended.
The “first” thanksgiving was a celebratory events that brought together God fearing believers with non God fearing people to celebrate a great harvest, a sharing of knowledge, friendship, and fellowship. Everything was provided by God to all at that “first” thanksgiving.
It was not the “first” thanksgiving in history. The Bible tells us that from the beginning of our planet by God, thanksgiving has taken place. In the beginning, God provided for us with plants, animals, and knowledge, all for us to survive, thrive, and worship. Worship by the way we fellowship and by the way we live each and every day.
Here on the farm, we are shown each and every day how God gives and provides for us. God’s giving comes in many different ways, even ways that we often don’t see as good or as a way to give thanks for. But every day, we should give thanks to God. He allowed you to wake up, to eat, to work, to learn, to grow, to fellowship, to give to others, and the list goes on and on. So in every moment give thanks to God, not just at special events or on special days.
As with every day, today we, here at Serenity Acres Farm, give thanks to God for all that he provides us and that he provides you, our friends. Thank you visiting and welcome to Serenity.
