Thanksgiving is a matter of the heart.

Job1:21...“Naked (without possessions) I came [into this world] from my mother’s womb, And naked I will return there. The Lord gave and the Lord has taken away; Blessed be the name of the Lord.” 2:10 But he said to her, “You speak as one of the [spiritually] foolish women speaks [ignorant and oblivious to God’s will]. Shall we indeed accept [only] good from God and not [also] accept adversity *and* disaster?”...

 Thanksgiving is a matter of the heart. There are many on this day that will feel lost and abandoned. Some have broken hearts, broken families, and broken lives. To be thankful in times of adversity is not easy. Job, seemed like he had everything he ever needed for physical well being. He had a large family that he loved, wealth, and prosperity. In one moment of time, almost all was gone. God's will for our lives, sometimes is not what we may have expected. We can look at Job as an example of what it is like to praise God for what He has given and what He has taken away. There are many that may never experience the severe loss that breaks you. Then there are some that know it all to well. Friends, I want you to know that Jesus loves you no matter where you are at and what you are going through, and I love you too.
