Thanksgiving!

What exactly does Thanksgiving mean to us these days! Are we thankful for our material things? Certainly these are gifts from the Father, as well as health, freedom, our home, etc. But, I was thinking more on the line of being thankful for a more precious gift this year. Yes I am grateful for my family and my neighbors, but more than that I am thankful for the assurance that Christ came to this earth, suffered and died so that I will have eternal life in Heaven with Him and the Father. In light of that, all else pales!
