Since everything God created is good, we should not reject any of it but receive it with thanks. 1 Timothy 4:4(NLT)
RECEIVE WITH THANKSGIVING
A poem and essay by ILMA
What have you been given lately?
Do you thank the Lord God Almighty?
Don’t turn your back on what God has given
E¬¬specially on his Son who died and was risen.
Receive with thanksgiving and gratitude
It will transform your mind and your attitude
Since all God’s creation is good for his plan
Take it and use it for honoring him and his Son.

Today is Thanksgiving Day and most of us are all busy preparing for the family meals that we celebrate each year. I come from a country where we didn’t celebrate thanksgiving. This is a new tradition for me. A part of me don’t understand why we need to do it only one special day Shouldn’t we thank the Lord each day for the many things he has provided and given us?
Many people do not see miracles in their lives because they are all grumbling about what they don’t have. They want God to give them all their requests even though they have no idea that it may not be good for them after all. The bible tells us that since all things that God made is good, we must not reject any of it but receive it with a thankful heart.
