How do you integrate your faith in Christ into the Thanksgiving holiday?

Thanksgiving is a basic tenet of Christianity. God's word reminds us to be thankful for the good and bad in our lives because we understand that he uses all things to mold us into teh image of Christ. He allows each of us to go though good and bad times to learn important lessons. Thanksgiving is much less commercialized than Easter and Christmas have become in this nation.
I hope that each of my believing friend are blessed with a wonderful and thankful Thanksgiving.
Will you be integrating your faith in Christ into Thanksgiving this year?

I became a believer in Christ in 1987 after almost 31 years of fighting Him. After the trajectory of my life was turned from death to life I have found it easier to be thankful. I would love to be more consistent in my thankfulness; but, I struggle at times to be thankful. I take each day one at atime and trust God that he knows whats best and He will lead me along the path of life. To God be the glory.

LTC Stephen F., You know where I stand. The reason Thanksgiving is less commercialized is because they are already having ads and sales for Christmas in October. It's ridiculous. Have a blessed and safe Thanksgiving while you're down there feeding the homeless. They are the blessed ones.

I have never known Thanksgiving without giving thanks to the Lord for the blessings in my life.

I have a crystal block, that is the Nativity Scene, to the right of me; on my computer table.
I kiss my right index finger and press it on the crystal; where the figure of Jesus as a young man is depicted. At that time...
...I thank Jesus, with all of my infinite gratitude, for all of my infinite overwhelming blessings- and I tell him that I adore him, beyond reason.

We, like the Pilgrims, have a choice. In life there will always be those things that we can complain about (the Pilgrims had lost many loved ones), but there will also be much to be thankful for. As our society becomes increasingly secular, the actual “giving of thanks to God” during our annual Thanksgiving holiday is being overlooked, leaving only the feasting. May God grant that He may find us grateful every day for all of His gifts, spiritual and material. God is good, and every good gift comes from Him (James 1:17). For those who know Christ, God also works everything together for good, even events we would not necessarily consider good (Romans 8:28-30). May He find us to be His grateful children.
God Bless us all!

Most of my family do a 30 day listing of things they are thankful for. To me I find every day a day of thanksgiving because of the love of Jesus Christ.
