...Give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus. - I Thessalonians 5:18Today is Thanksgiving Day in the U.S. It's a custom not many other countries have. But it's something we all should do - even if there's no national holiday or big dinner associated with it.
The casino closest to our door is offering a special ten-hour Thanksgiving buffet. But no, we plan to eat elsewhere. And really now - when was the last time you heard someone openly give thanks for a casino?
This year, we're actually thankful to God for the opportunity to play casino poker - especially after our amazing two-day back-to-back final table combination in August. We've won some money, and had several opportunities to share our faith.
And what if we hadn't won a dime? We still would be thankful for the freedom to speak up about the things of God, and how good He desires to be.
I will give thanks to the Lord because of his righteousness and will sing praise to the name of the Lord Most High. - Psalm 7:17You may have the tallest stack of chips known to man. You may have simply "a chip and a chair." Whatever your situation, at the table or outside it, be thankful to God for any blessing you have - because ultimately He's the one who provides it to you.
...Because of the surpassing grace God has given you. Thanks be to God for his indescribable gift! - II Corinthians 9:14-15
