Thanksgiving


In the NIV the word "thanksgiving" is used 32 times... Below are the first 10! As children of God we have much to be thankful for and my prayers are that during the next few days in the US when most are celebrating "Thanksgiving Day" we will all remember the greatest thing we have to be thankful for.
