King David captured the heart of being thankful when he wrote “O LORD my God, You have performed many wonders for us. Your plans for us are too numerous to list. You have no equal. If I tried to recite all Your wonderful deeds, I would never come to the end of them.” (Psalms 40:5 NLT)
In the Philippines, we also have the tradition of Thanksgiving. It is not based on historical tradition of a country but on the Church being thankful of the many blessings from our Lord. Each November the churches celebrate Thanksgiving. It’s a glorious celebration with food and guest speakers. They celebrate the years the Lord has blessed their church. All this month I went to churches celebrating with them.
I can tell you, after living in America the richest nation in the world and now living in Antique the poorest province in the Philippines, that God is faithful with blessings regardless of wealth or assets. God is indeed full of “wonderful deeds” “too numerous to list.”
Happy Thanksgiving,
