It was written by the Apostle Paul...
While he was in the Caribbean soaking up some rays...NOT
While he was feasting at a banqueting table filled with all kinds of delicacies....NOT
While he was sleeping in on a weekday...NOT
While he was...
IN PRISON.
His famous verse....Rejoice in the Lord always and again I say Rejoice!

Thanksgiving shouldn't be about "us" "my family".
It should shine through to the poor and the needy. It should shine the love of Jesus.
Give thanks in everything....go out and extend your invitation. It's never too late.
