Thanksgiving Holiday (U.S.) 2019

Many associate being thankful with only the "big things" in their lives, sometimes overlooking the "smaller things" that, when it's all said and done, are what really help make a difference.

There isn't a certain size, amount, or expiration date for blessings received from God. Accept them as they come, and give thanks to Him always (Ephesians 5:20; 1 Thessalonians 5:18).

This Thursday, November 28th, is Thanksgiving Day in the U.S. Every year, people gather together and celebrate the holiday with food, family, and fellowship. Our staff, writers, and friends at The Coffeehouse Bible Ministry are no different.

As has been customary during this special holiday time, we will break over the weekend, returning on Monday, December 2nd. Also, we hope that you will take a moment during this time to pray for those less fortunate in the world.

In the spirit of the holiday, I leave you with some food for thought by the great 19th century preacher Charles Spurgeon.

"I think that is a better thing than thanksgiving: thanks-living. How is this to be done? By a general cheerfulness of manner, by an obedience to the command of Him by whose mercy we live, by a perpetual, constant delighting of ourselves in the Lord, and by a submission of our desires to His will."

As always, our blog archives are always available for you to use as God moves you. Now, on behalf of all of us at The Coffee House Bible Ministry, have a safe, spirit-filled holiday weekend!

"Praise the LORD. Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good; his love endures forever." - Psalm 106:1
