Over the decades, Americans continued to celebrate with a feast in the fall that focused on giving thanks. This holiday arrived on our calendars through suffering and loss. Adversity and struggle, instead of dampening their spirits, fueled the gratitude in the hearts of the men, women, and children who decided to feast and give God glory with whatever they had available to eat. Their gratitude to God in the face of such hardship serves as a beacon of hope for us all.

Will this Thanksgiving be the best of Thanksgivings? How is this even judged? Is it the amount of food? Is it the company you are with or not with? Is it if your football team wins? Or maybe it's how you wake up feeling that day? The world says all these things are the standard of a good Thanksgiving Day. However, Christians can see the Scriptures say something different.
