This thanksgiving you can be honored by God. And you can be sealed. This is the easy way. Once you make a move the rest just falls into place. God wants to do all the work for you.


Thanksgiving was first celebrated by the settlers at Plymouth. It was popularized by the Puritans who gave thanks to God for the harvest, the rains, and victories in battle. The holiday was made national by Abraham Lincoln.


Thanksgiving is fast approaching. You are taking off time from work or school to prepare for the holiday. You may even go shopping on the day after Thanksgiving if you do not mind the huge crowd of other shoppers.


You are probably planning to spend time with your family or loved ones. You are doing what many others are doing. But have you thought about how God wants you to recognize this American tradition?


Giving thanks to God is vital to spiritual life. It is crucial. It is necessary to give God thanks to show Him you appreciate what He has done for you. And if you stop and consider you will find He has done much for you.


Since thanksgiving was made popular as a time to give thanks to God that is what it should be today. It is time off from work and time to be with family. Turkey time. And for the men, football time.


But God deserves a little of your time this holiday season. And what does God want? He wants you to show Him you recognize Him for all He has done for you. And yet this is not always so easy.


If you can just take a moment here and there in the coming few days God will appreciate it. He will be thankful in return. It does not matter if it is late, coming after Thursday November 22.


It could be Saturday the 24th. It could be Sunday. After that or before it. What matters is that you take a little moment, or a few little moments, and honor God for what He has given you.


God has given most Americans abundant blessings. Some people may argue that what they have is not from God. But God has given gifts to people in mysterious ways. And we do not always easily see what He has given us.


Some people have acquired great wealth by their own efforts. They call themselves "self-made." They might argue that God did not give them that money. He did not provide for them. They made the money on their own.


But God did give them gifts. And they honored God by using those gifts and prospering. The crowning honor would be to thank God for giving them the tools to use to become wealthy.


Because when you honor God by thanking Him then He will honor you in return. He will recognize you in return. You must show Him you know He is the one ultimately responsible for your life. For your future.


All it takes is a moment. "Thank you, Father in Jesus Name, for providing for me." Done. Jesus thanked God when he blessed the bread at His Last Supper. If He could thank Him at that time you can thank Him now.


When you do it just once you will notice a difference. You will want to do it again. "Thank you, Father in Jesus Name, for my health." He hears you from Heaven. He honors you just as you honor Him.


And you want to be honored. You want more blessings from God. That is the easy way. You do not have to do it all yourself. You have a benefactor. He is the God who gives you blessings, like the blessing of sealing you.
