Hello Christina! This is a very insightful post. I never realized the fact that a national celebration and a significant event in our life as Christians coincide with each other. It was perhaps destined to happen. We have so much to be thankful this day.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful post!!!! I too have been marveling in the fact that GOD has an abundance...an overflow for those that love and obey HIM! Thanks for keeping folks reminded of this very thing! Matthew 16:33 "But seek ye first the Kingdom of GOD, and HIS righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you!" Also so glad that the "all these things" is so more than material things!!! Be blessed, and keep up the good work!
