If you woke up this morning with more health than illness, you are more blessed than the millions who won't survive the week. If you have never experienced the danger of battle, the loneliness of imprisonment, the agony of torture, or the pangs of starvation, you are ahead of 20 million people around the world. If you attend a church meeting without fear of harassment, arrest, torture, or death, you are more blessed than almost three billion people in the world. If you have food in your refrigerator, clothes on your back, a roof over your head, and a place to sleep, you are richer than 75 percent of this world. If you have money in the bank, in your wallet, and spare change in a dish someplace, you are among the top 8 percent of the world's wealthy.

"OH COME, LET US SING FOR JOY TO THE LORD; LET US SHOUT JOYFULLY TO THE ROCK OF OUR SALVATION. LET US COME BEFORE HIS PRESENCE WITH THANKSGIVING; LET US SHOUT JOYFULLY TO HIM WITH PSALMS. FOR THE LORD IS A GREAT GOD AND A GREAT KING ABOVE ALL GODS." - PSALMS 94:1-3 (NAS)

This special time of the year is a time for each of us to reflect on all the blessings that have come to us from the Lord in America. The American flag still flies over our land, we have the privilege to vote, we have the freedom to worship, we can pledge our Allegiance to America and to our Lord, we can let our voice be known, we have the freedom to make choices, our troops are protecting us daily, in 'God we Trust' is still on our money, there is food and water in America, we can go to school and are blessed with the best medical care as our list goes on. Yes Lord, "we do come into your presence with "Thanksgiving", we are thankful for your love and protection over America and what you have given us through the years.

Remind us to always be grateful and not take anything for granted but seek you for your Wisdom for each elected Leader. We ask you by your mighty power to turn America back to you. Nothing is impossible when you are with us. Bring America back Lord to our Godly heritage and sweep America again with your Holy Spirit as we turn our hearts toward you with Thanksgiving. read more »
