As Thanksgiving approaches most of us will have an opportunity to unplug, evaluate, and offer thanks to God for the numerous blessings in our lives without the typical interruptions which accompany our normal routines.
The churches of Sulphur Springs Baptist Association will hold a special Thanksgiving celebration service at Bethel Baptist Church, Dora, Nov. 25, 6:30 p.m.
According to Lifeway Research, 56% of those surveyed said that being thankful to God for their blessings was most important on Thanksgiving Day. And 38% reported spending time with family and friends tops their priorities.
While the example set by the Pilgrims can motivate us to a period of giving thanks to God, the example of Christ furnishes us with an even greater example.
